NEVER GIVE UP!
Depression and other mental illnesses are often chronic, lasting a person's entire life. Despite this, there are usually ways to manage this! Sometimes it takes days, weeks, months, years- even decades to discover what works best for you. Never give up though. If you keep fighting to find a way to live happy and feel worth it (because you ARE WORTH IT! And you deserve happiness!) eventually you'll find something that works. Never give up on yourself because giving up means you miss out on the chance for brighter days :)
Anything worthwhile (like a good quality of life for yourself THAT YOU REALLY DO DESERVE!)is worth fighting for and never giving up on.
