My depression is getting out control. I've been struggling since I was 13 years old, pretty much consistently. Everything is in place to make me a mess right now, I'm going through a horrible breakup, I'm unemployed, I don't have a single soul to lean on, and winter is here. The crying spells are so intense and taking over my life, I can't prepare food or shower because I'm so overwhelmed and consumed by the sobbing that won't stop. I try everyday to recover and do positive self talk and love myself but it always comes to one moment I just get knocked down and go back into all my unhealthy cycles and hate myself because the energy to manage it is gone. I'm losing everything. I've already lost everything. I regret to so much that I hadn't taken my life when I was 13 and this started. I don't have hope and don't remember what it's like to be happy.

Take a deep breath. It's gonna be okay stay positive things will turn around. Depression is no joke it's awful and it feels like your world is Falling apart, but just remember you life is worth living.

Look, if you have anyone absolutely anyone, a parent a friend an aunt or uncle, just someone who could help you until this low passes, I advise you go to them. There's always someone there for you to lean on when you need it, you won't be a burden to them and you can make it through this! I believe in you, depression is not easy and I get the feeling you're low enough to not feel the emotion I am trying to put into my words, just don't forget you are loved, even if you don't feel it right now. It's okay to cry, it's okay to get this low sometimes, just find that person that's there for you no matter what and go to them, please! You have got this, after every low is a high, I'm sure you've noticed that in that past. You can do this, all the hugs my friend, you deserve and need them all.
