Girl to girl at some point, you have to stop letting your depression win. You have to stop sitting in the same room, replaying the same thoughts, waiting for something to change. Nobodyโs coming to save you, itโs on you to save yourself. Get up. Take a shower. Go for a walk. Work on that dream youโve been putting off. It doesnโt have to be perfect, just start! You owe it to yourself to fight for a better version of you, even on the days when you donโt feel like it. Healing doesnโt happen overnight, but every time you get up instead of giving upโฆ thatโs progress.
Suicidal ideation, for many, isnโt about death.
Itโs about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isnโt always โnot wanting to be aliveโ
Itโs just not wanting to live like this.
