Life is for experiencing, and what we can do to brighten the lives of others. Instead of thinking of the bad things, see what small act of kindness you can bring to this world. Be a light to others every time and cherish your precious life. If you cannot live for you, live for something/someone else.
You are deeply loved. You are sincerely and perfectly valued, thus the reason why you were put in this world.
Ask the people in your life how they are doing. How they are REALLY doing. Show the people in your life that you care and give them a safe space to open up.

This was hard to read as I struggle with depression, but it’s so true and more people need to understand it. Thank you so much for this <3
I feel like I really neede to hear this st this very moment,over the weekend I had such terrible thoughts about myself. I was so depressed to the point I needed to reach out to a friend because my thoughts were not good. I needed these reminders! Thank you!
Nicely written article & definitely relatable, especially for some who has battled depression before. Xoxo
Depression is so hard
This is 100% accurate, having suffered from my own spots of depression I know it is horrible to deal with and a lot of people don’t understand it.
Wow. You hit the nail on the head. You described my feelings of depression exactly. I am so glad I finally realized that I needed help. You’re helping so many with this post.
I’ve struggled with depression for years and I really appreciate your honesty on the topic. Your support is unconditional in this post. You are absolutely right – breaking the silence is important to getting help!
I never thought it to be that worst. Thanks for enlightening us..and sharing to us…..so that we could understand more and be educated on this matter…..In lieu of Mental Health Awareness Week..this is a valuable information…….
This really resonated with me. I totally know what that feels like. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Unfortunately for most people, depression is masked by smiles and ‘normalcy’ that nobody has no way of knowing what’s really going on. It’s sad and I hope that there’ll be more support system for everyone going through like this.
I know exactly how this feel. This isn’t easy and I’m praying for you.
I believe a big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you’re in a room full of a million people.
Depression certainly need to be cured on priority 🙁
You describe it so well. I guess depression can be really abstract to thosr who haven’t experienced it. Thanks for making it understandable.
Depression is real and should be a topic we should all be open about. Thank you for bringing the awareness.
What a great topic. Mental health is very important to fight depression you need to be strong and Fighter as well. My advocacy in life is to Mental health care awareness witch means we need to take care our mental health and help others who suffering mental illness. 🙂
This post got me reflecting on when I was depressed. It is not something to remember. Trust me depression is the elder brother to AIDS.
I can relate to having these feelings, especially when experiencing postpartum depression. Depression is this invisible monster that invades our minds and we have to find a way to survive. Sending good thoughts your way.❤
One should share his thoughts quite often !!! Depression kills you from within !!
I have a very close friend who fights depression. There is strength in vulnerability!
Depression is such a difficult subject to tackle, one can never tell that someone is on the verge of losing oneself. The best thing to do I guess is that be with the person that you think is in a difficult situation.
Depression sucks. I’ve been through and came out winning. The only way to beat it is to spite it. Live and tell it “screw you” I am better than this. I loved your post. Thanks for sharing this.
I know someone suffering from depression. It’s so good to share!
It’s so good that you are talking about it. So many people go through depression without understanding what is happening to them.
So relatable. I had depression in the past and it was so hard waking up everyday.
I have depression and anxiety. Its feels like drowning and gasping for air. The people around me sometimes feel im only being dramatic, but they do not know the struggle of getting up in the bed, and fighting for the will to live.
Thank you for posting this, as someone who has struggled with mental health issues. I completely agree, people need to understand more
Depression decreases one’s performance at work, and making decision is difficult when depressed.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Yes! You need to talk about your depression and share your feelings. It is not easy to open up, it is not easy to speak our heart out but if you do that definitely helps.
It was really nice to read this post. I focus on depression on my FB page. I suffer from depression and I can agree that it is definitely affected by what you choose to think about. However, it can consist of more for some. It is a battle that we must take on one day and one step at a time. But it’s time to kick depression in the a$$ and say good riddens. Thanks for the post.
Definitely. No matter how successful one is, no one is really sheltered from depression. It can happen to anyone, it happens without us seeing the signs. It’s like a thief. Everyone must be aware and shouldn’t take it for granted.
