Finding Hope: Overcoming Depression

Hello everyone, I have been feeling really down lately and I think I might be dealing with depression. I have been experiencing a lack of energy, loss of interest in things I used to enjoy, and trouble sleeping. It’s been really hard for me to even get out of bed some days. I know I need to reach out for help, but I’m feeling scared and alone. Can anyone offer some advice or share their own experiences with dealing with depression? I could really use some support right now. Thank you so much.
