Depression is a very real and serious thing. It can take over and taint how you see the world, and how you see yourself. As someone who has overcome depression and still struggles from time to time when it seems to want to creep back in and take hold, I have done everything in my power to counter and combat it.
I beat it back with prayer, fitness, therapy, forcing myself to go out and participate in life even when the depression makes me feel like I just want to curl up and die.There are also times when I give myself permission to just stay in bed for that one day. Twice in my life, I was on antidepressants and they helped a lot.
To anyone who may be suffering from depression: Depression is an affliction that you can overcome. You are not your depression. You need not marry your misery and become one with it. You are worthy of happiness and a life full of love and light. Don't quit before the miracle happens. If nobody told you yet today, let me be the first to say, I love you!💌
