A warm message to all
Hello all! I'm Lorianne, a new listener on here and I'm really grateful to be one. I know how hard life gets and how much of a need there is for people to have support when they are going through a hard time. I'd love to say right now that it doesn't last forever. Some years back I was dealing with depression and several mental health issues, I remember telling myself "I don't think I'll ever heal" because at that point I thought I was too broken beyond repair. But sometimes being broken breaks new grounds inside of us. The dark nights don't go on for so long. Fun fact: the darkest nights give way to the most beautiful sunshines. You will get through this. It sounds impossible but it's possible. You're stronger than you know. Don't give up!!
Lots of love,
Lori.

Thank you! I love this sentiment "The dark nights don't go on for so long. Fun fact: the darkest nights give way to the most beautiful sunrises." Like, it's always darkest before the dawn. Do you have any advice for someone who has been 'in the dark' for a decade? It's been a decade since my life has turned upside down and the fact that I still haven't gotten back on my feet after 10 years is really starting to freak me out and get me down.
Hello! The only advice I have for someone who's been in the dark for too long is— don't give up. Life gets hard but keep striving. Keep going. Don't stop caring about yourself because the moment you stop caring about yourself and the things happening, it gets worse from there. I'm really sorry you're going through this. Warm hugs your way. You can message me if you need to talk more I'm here for you!
@lovelylorianne14 Thank you

Welcome to the community. Depression is quite a tough battle, isn't it? It affects people in so many awful ways, but, as you said, it gets better.
Thank you so much! I agree with you, depression is a hard battle but it does get better. So glad it does!
