You're a winner enduring depression. You really are a winner.

You must be worth something. If you weren't, it would be a lot easier to accept not living up to your potential. The more potential, the greater the pain.

As long as you have depression there is hope of achievement. But even if you achieve nothing, it matters not. As long as you try.

Part of it is accepting that there are times you don't reap, don't cash in, that nothing materialises. But you do get stronger by endurance. You can focus on your life after depression, prepare yourself for better times.

There's a time for everything. You just have less of a say in when you do what.

Stay determined: you can. Even if it feels like crawling, keep crawling.

It's really quite easy, just very hard.

Hope that makes sense. I am quite severely depressed but I am determined to use it, get better at it and endure it.
