When I’m feeling depressed, I remind myself of this...
the bad days that I have now... are better than the best days I had 5 years ago.
it may not seem like it day to day... but you are growing. You are getting stronger. Even in your darkest times.
I wish mental health was treated as seriously as physical health, not something that can just be cured w/ sunshine, prayers & everyone telling you to “just be happy”. If someone reaches out to you, LISTEN & encourage them to seek help instead of just brushing it off as a bad day.
