Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
You are wonderful just the way you are. Just because there is struggle now, does not mean there will be struggle forever. I believe that whenever a door closes a window opens. Look for the windows.
I also believe that we suffer so that we can help others who are suffering later. You are a brave and wonderful person who is meant for something in the future.
You are not meant to be other people. You are meant to be you. And you is the most beautiful thing that you can be. You are worthy to be loved.

I know that this may not feel like it's the right time to say this, but you are most likely a very beautiful, smart, and caring person. Although it may be difficult to see this right now, I can see that you are trying your very best to move forward with your life and the obstacles that it has put in your path. As a student, I can relate to your feelings of constant pressure to compare yourself with your peers and the people who surround you, but if you have made it this far in life and are still trying to make the best out of a crummy situation, then you probably have more resilience than you might think. In class the other day, we learned about the way in which female beauty is communicated through various discourses. If there is one thing that I learned from it, it was to resist the dominant norms of beauty and be daring enough to embrace what we were born with. Your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc., were most likely very beautiful people and the genes that they passed on to you is probably very beautiful as well.
I know it's a really rough time right now, but I appreciate the way that you are seeking some help and support. Please attempt to keep this in mind: You are beautiful. You are strong. & You are worthy.
Hope this helps a little bit!
