Fear of Depression

My depression scares me and makes me feel very anxious and alone. Can anyone else relate? And has anyone found tools to let go of the fear or make friends with the fear?

I think it's normal to get scared. It's an everyday battle and I often get scared that I won't have the will to fight anymore, but I think of my little boys and use them as my hope and motivation. You just have to try not to let it take over. Depression is a deep pit of overwhelming fear, loneliness, pain, and so much more. It alters your perception on things, usually in a negative way. You can use that fear as motivation to not fall deeper in that pit. Make a goal for yourself for the day, or make time for yourself, basically give yourself something to look forward to and little by little you can add on to it. I hope you find a way to cope with it.
