Hi. I’m so sorry you are going through this.

You are not alone.

I wish people like us could be there for each other.

I’m having severe depression tonight too.

Just hang in there.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day! 🌻

Unfortunately I’m going through similar depression right now so I can relate. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find the peace you need soon.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand your feelings of depression. I have just joined our Anxiety and Depression Support Group. I also feel worse at night. I feel like I have wasted another day.

Depression seems to get worse as we age, at least it has in my case. As I get older, most of the people I have known have died. It is terrible. I also have some health issues. Life doesn't seem to get any easier the older I get, in fact, it is much more difficult. You are not alone.
