💜 Hello! I completely understand! I have been depressed since April of last year. So far the longest I have went with out crying is 5 days. I know your exhausted, I know your tired💜 YOU MATTER HONEY!! The worst advice/encouragement I've gotten was "be strong" that phrase angers me because you are being strong just by reaching out to someone. What I found that has helped:Positive self talk: tell yourself: I am beautiful, I am worthy of love. (Taylor it to fit your circumstances) (I used to tell people im clumsy to the point that when i tripped or drop something people would comment on how clumsy I am, I now correct people and tell them i am not clumsy along with telling myself I am not clumsy, its worked)

Getting fresh air

Deep breathing exercises: I do a few deep breaths, inhale as deep as you can hold 3 seconds breath out completely. Imagine all the sadness leaving your body on the exhale.

Up until a week ago I was planning to commit suicide on the 16th (Sunday) after i take my daughter to live with her friend for a few months(my life is a mess, there isnt a single person related to me that i speak to anymore, they are racist and i have a beautiful mixed child. I was on meds for 12 years. The meds made my very passive and acceptance of thier constant abuse and blatant disrespect. I realized in September that my own mother didn't love or like me when i told her i was rapped in the very room we were talking in when i was 20, I saw her smile as I uttered those words to her, my mothers other daughter is still in contact with the male that rapped me and she knew about it. The night it happened my own brother let him in our parents house "to use the bathroom" after he knew this guy tried to strangle me. That is only the tip of the iceberg of my situation.

I tell you all that to say this: you are strong simply by choosing to wake up every morning! Depression sucks, it's hard to get through; but its not impossible. Other people's opinion of you do not matter!!! I care what happens to you! We can get through this! 😘

I am so sorry that you are suffering. You don’t deserve to. I am struggling with depression myself. I know it is really hard to deal with. I would like to help you but I can barely help myself. Do you have any good things in your life that you can think about when you feel down like family, friends, or pets? Can you listen to music, watch tv, or read when you feel down? I believe you can get through this. Don’t give up on yourself. I hope you heal. Take care
