I have been depressed for a few years now. This isn’t an isolated occurrence; I was often feeling helpless back in high school. I feel that I have so much to offer – but people either only see the bad things or I think I am too shy to show the great sides of myself. When I am depressed, I feel unable to defend or stick up for myself, so I feel that people have gotten the wrong impression of me. This is terrifying to me. I care about others and I want to see them happy so much. My depression has made me feel so much hurt that I have hurt the ones I love. I don’t know how to escape from this hole that I have recently been submerged into, but I hope for the sake of seeing the people around me happy that I crawl out of it soon.
Anything helps.
Thank you.

you are not alone <3
I’m sending you a GREAT BIG HUG right now! I hope you’re feeling better these days. I remember during one of my worst and longest depressions everything in the world lost color, it seemed all black and white. I noticed it one day and wondered where the color went. Strange. But I held tight to God and He lifted the depression. It took quite a while, but it did leave and I could feel joy again. And color returned to my world! Now I talk to Him frequently and see His working in my life. And life is better. It’s good.
I pray this for you too.
