Depression and suicide are two very real concerns for many of us. It’s not if it affects us, it’s how it affects us and what we can do about it.
As someone who has suffered with depression as a teenager, I understand the heaviness, the dull pain and belief that nothing will ever get better. But I wish that anyone who felt depressed realized that life always gets better. And not just a little better, but it really does feel like a rainbow at the end of a long dark tunnel.
While you’re stuck in it, there is no shame in grasping onto life jackets in the form of therapists and friends. Life is difficult. We are not meant to go through it all alone. If you are reading this and need help or know someone who does, please reach out. It could save a life.
