Struggling with Depression and Feeling Invalidated

The Hilarious World of Depression and Depresh Mode are two podcasts that got me through tough times. You’re posting here because you want to get through it. And every person has the strength to do so. Get a Dr or sign up for a telehealth service. You need a team. Set yourself up to beat this. U can do it. You’ve already taken the first step

Don't give up. I know how you feel because my family (mom and her family) all think this is too much thinking of my part. Depression is an illness and only us ";" warriors know the struggle. You're not alone... you have us. Prayers sent all the way up. 🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been there. You know it will pass but it’s hard to look forward to that when you’re feeling so down. And even when you are feeling better, mental illness can be so TIRING. It’s ok to feel like giving up, but don’t make any big decisions for yourself until you are feeling better. When you are feeling especially down, try calling a warmline. Some states have these, where you can talk with people who also have mental illnesses who talk with you and validate your feelings. If your state doesn’t have one, try seeking out more resources like this app to talk with people who will validate you! You did a good thing for yourself by posting here so keep it up! You matter and you deserve to be validated and understood, and there are a lot of people in the world who can relate to you. Please hang in there!
