I hope this is ok to share, this is something I wrote a few years ago when I was going through a rough patch and tried to take my own life several times. 

 

Depression is darkness, pitch black, no light, no hope. Lying in bed feeling like you are stuck in concrete unable to move. Thoughts racing through your mind, losing control of yourself. Little by little, bit by bit the darkness consumes you. Complete despair, you are willing to try anything to mask the pain, to make it stop. 

 

Depression kills, it's debilitating, exhausting, frustrating, lonely. We must fight to not let the darkness consume us. We must find light at the end. Our past does not define who we are today and who we can become. 

 

Have faith, believe, fight, trust, love and accept yourself. Don't doubt yourself, you are capable of more than you could ever imagine. Fight the depression, fight to become the best you can be. Inspire others to believe that depression is not the end, it's just a speed bump in the road to finding happiness. 

 

You deserve happiness, love, peace. 

Never stop fighting no matter what! 

 

Written by me.
