After reading tonnes of books and listened to podcast after podcast and attending CBT groups. Everything finally came together and I realised two things One, my depression is a story that I have created and I can write a new one. Two, I really need to love myself, but REALLY love myself.

I began to picture myself hugging myself every morning, I pictured seeing my face and just being excited to see me, the same way I feel when I see an old friend who loves me. It was hard at first because I really loathed myself, but now it's easy. I still do this one thing every morning and many other things to look after myself. But it all started with self love, it really works!

Keep up the good work of sending out hope to people still struggling!

Happy for you, Warly.
