Dear everyone with depression

I need to tell you a few things.

You are good enough. You may think you are not, but you are absolutely wrong. You exist in this world and thats already good enough for some people. Dont compare yourself to others. You are different. Embrace that fact. You are special. There is only one you in this world. You are here for a reason.

You are loved. You may not feel it, but it is the truth. And us, everyone here, love you and support you! People care and love you, even though maybe sometimes they do not show it. As long as you are a good person, they like you.

You are brave and strong. After everything you have gone through, now you are here, reading this. That proves that you are strong. It is amazing. You also came her seeking support and help, i think that is brave! Every morning you wake up fearing what would happen that day, but yet you wake up. Is that not very great? You are not cowardly and weak for crying, self harming, feeling hopeless. It makes you human.

You are valid. Your gender, sexuality, romantic orientation, feelings, they are all valid. You can be whoever you want to as long as they dont harm others.

Appreciate more. Appreciate the fact that youre here, youre here as a blessing to others. You truly are.

You make people happy. You may not realize this. Look at all those people you have helped, listened and supported. Theyre grateful. You gave them hope. You are like a candle in the darkness for them. What you gave was not big, but it could mean the world to them. Simple smiles, compliments, cheer-ups can make them so happy and you would not even know it. Making someone happy is a small thing but the effect could be big – bigger than you and i will ever imagine.

Think about the people you love and love you. How about them? If you go, they would not be themselves anymore. Coping over a death is not easy. If you leave, theyll be guilty and they will blame themselves for not being there enough for you. You wouldnt want that, would you? So hang in there. Stay strong. Stay alive. They will miss you so much if you leave.

Dont worry. Everything will be okay. Youre okay. You are fine. Breathe. Everything is going to be just fine. Everything is going to be all right. We are here to support you. I read somewhere that 80% of our worries would not happen. So breathe. It will be okay.

Have a lovely day everyone!
