What if you quit just before you conquered? I live way up north and there are so many stories of people who died less than 10 feet from safety during a blizzard. Just a few more steps and they would have won through but instead they gave up. Depression is like a blizzard in your heart and mind, you can't see past it. You can't hear anything. You become exhausted battling it. Sometimes we have to rest to recoup our strength but we shouldn't quit. We don't know what will happen next. Maybe tomorrow will be that new day we are all working so hard to reach. Or perhaps it will be as I am doing - slow tiny bits of progress added to until one day I realized I don't want to die, til I realized I sort of do like myself. I haven't escaped depression totally yet but I am on my way.
