I don't believe in fighting depression. I don't believe depression is a thing. That's why I don't believe in psychologists. What is the point of telling someone you don't know, everything? When people said I was depressed and I had to fight it, I didn't believe them, and I still don't till this day. You don't fight something that's in you, you just simply come to terms with it. You tell it that this is your life and you control your own life. Stand your ground.
To me, depression is not being sad or upset, it's the lack of hope. Lack of ability to see that there are opportunities waiting for you, and space for you to move forward where things will keep becoming better.
But it is not the lack of appreciation, it is the inability to deal with what is given to you.
It takes a lot of courage to suicide. There is so much to let go of, so much to give up. You are sacrificing your life in the hope of others, although they may not feel the same.
But all this is okay, we're all human, we all go through the same things. I always believe there's hope in every situation, sometimes it's just the inability to see it cause it may be real damn dark, but it's there. Those who survive the battle are the strongest.
