I can relate to what you have shared in your post.

I am glad you are not hiding your struggle anymore; I hope those around you will respond with understanding and compassion.

You are in a very tough spot, one to which I can relate. I have been there, too, recently. Because you've shared, I know I am not alone in this struggle today.

I want to return the favor and share with you: I have lived with severe depression for over 30 years... even longer as I was traumatized and depressed as a child. Much of my life, my depression was "masked," until I just could not do it anymore. Here's the good news: I have made it thus far, despite the severe struggles. My depressions have been deadly; yet, I am still here.

I am glad you are reaching out!

Try to find an interest if you can do so. If not, don't give up on it.

Keep reaching out!

Stay safe!
