Depression...
Depression is basically:
One day, you decide you want to walk into the woods and you fall into a deep hole and break your leg and branches fall into the hole.
You can only see a little bit of light but you can't reach you...you have two soluations either call for help, you wait for your leg to heal in a painful process and get up that way...you chose.
That's a good metaphor. I think it can help people understand that asking for assistance in coping with your depression is absolutely normal and expected. There is nothing wrong in receiving support, especially in cases of the medical treatement.
Thanks for sharing it, @ChloeTheDuck!

Don't worry, you got me.:)
Hi there, I'm shirleen! I know fighting depression is difficult. Difficult in the sense that, 'owh you're feeling sad? That's normal, everyone has a sad day in life'. But what most of the people don't understand is that, suffering from depression is taking a very very sad day, and multiply it. That's how it feels. Definitely difficult to cope with and hard to handle. But I hope you realise that, you're not fighting it alone! At least, I'll be the first one to walk that journey with, and together we might build a stronger ladder. :) If you're reading this, and you're struggling. Please do not hesitate to message me at all. I'll be here to support you any way I can
@ChloeTheDuck If you need someone to talk to i would love to listen :)
