After years of struggling with the long term effects of depression, I finally feel like I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It hasn’t been easy, and some days are still really tough, but I’ve come such a long way. I’ve found a great therapist who has helped me so much, and I’ve also found support in my friends and family. It’s a daily battle, but I’m learning to be kinder to myself and to celebrate the small victories. I know I still have a ways to go, but I’m feeling more hopeful than I have in a long time. To anyone else who is struggling, please know that it’s okay to ask for help, and that things can get better. You’re not alone in this.
