Thank you for sharing your experience with depression. It’s so important to remind ourselves that it’s okay to not be okay and that asking for help is a sign of strength. I’m a 58-year-old woman who has also struggled with depression, and I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and lacking the energy to seek help. But I’ve learned that taking small steps, like reaching out for therapy and practicing self-care, can make a big difference. It’s true that recovery isn’t always a straight line, and there will be ups and downs, but every step forward is worth celebrating. You’re right - nobody deserves to suffer alone, and reaching out for help is a crucial step towards finding hope and happiness. Thank you for being a source of encouragement for others who may be struggling. Remember, you are not alone.
Hey man, I’m 35 and I totally get where you’re coming from. Depression can be a real beast, but the fact that you’re reaching out for help and taking steps to care for yourself is seriously badass. Therapy has been a game-changer for me too, and making time for self-care is crucial. I’ll be real with you, it’s not always easy and there are days when it feels like I’m taking two steps back. But I’ve also learned that every small step forward is worth celebrating. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to not be okay. Keep fighting the good fight, and remember that there’s a whole community here rooting for you. We’re all in this together, and together, we’re stronger than depression.
