      @Marlin_Fish some people at 988 are known for being kinda bad help. I have a roommate who works there that bullies and makes fun of me. I guess it’s better to talk to other depressed people.

      Hi, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been through this plenty of times. Is there anybody who can offer you support? I am also here to offer support if necessary

      I’ve felt this way too many times. Even though depression can leave you completely hopeless and feeling as though there’s no point to any of this, remember IT DOES GET BETTER. (I’m also trying to convince myself this at the moment) Till then, just take everything one step at a time and maintain taking your medications (if you’re prescribed any). For the moment, just focus on each thing individually, not the whole picture. Thinking about living the rest of life out while depressed can be exhausting. Till the chemicals in your brain go through a shift, just take baby steps and try to accomplish the little things (like showering, taking meds, eating dinner, etc)

      Something that helps me is finding that one thing that would be the hardest to give up. Personally, when I'm feeling that way, I think of my cats, if thinking about loved ones isn't enough. I know it might sound dumb but it helps. Maybe it's the fact that you'd never see another sunset (or something that brings you joy). Just something that you couldn't bring yourself to leave.

        @jellofish or maybe the fact that you’ll never meet your true love
