Hope is one of the most powerful emotions a person can have.Please remember that having a bad day does not mean you have – or will have – a bad life.One day, if not already, your refusal to give up will inspire someone else.You are brave, courageous and strong for continuing to fight an illness that nobody else can see. So, odds are that even if you don’t know it, one or more of your friends are fighting depression too but are similarly scared to reach out to you. If you’re worried about telling a friend that you struggle with depression, then remind yourself that you are one of 350 million people battling this illness.When your depression says, “Give up”, hope whispers, “Try one more time”.As Confucius said, our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we do.Don’t ruin a good day by thinking about the possibility of a bad day in the future.If you need a confidence booster, then remind yourself of all the difficult things you’ve endured and overcome.Please, don’t discriminate against yourself.
Having depression does not mean you are weak, a failure, or worth less than anybody else. Even the worst depressive episodes won’t last forever.It just means that in that moment, your depression is telling you even more lies than usual. Even if you can’t see any reason to keep on going, then it doesn’t mean that there aren’t any.This is a really easy way to lift your mood! Right now, stop whatever you’re doing and think of all the things in life that you are grateful for.As long as you keep on fighting, then you can beat your depression.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever give up on yourself.Instead, cherish those who helped you up. Don’t dwell on those who hold you down.Since birth, it’s always been a sign that you’re alive. Be proud of who you are, instead of ashamed of how someone else sees you.After all, you are so much more than just your illness. Don’t let your struggle become your identity.Instead, reach out for help and try to confront them. Running away from your problems is a race you’ll never win.Instead, love yourself for everything you are. Don’t hate yourself for everything you aren’t.We know it may not seem like it, but you are NOT alone. The World Health Organisation estimates that 350 million people suffer from depression worldwide.No matter how hard things are, tomorrow is a fresh opportunity to make everything better. Always try to end the day with a positive thought.Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness yet become something beautiful again.Even the darkest hour only has 60 minutes.On those really difficult days when it seems impossible to go on and you feel like giving up, just remind yourself that you’ve been there before and you’ve survived every time, so you can survive this time, too. That voice saying you are is just your depression trying to trick you. You are not worthless, you are not a failure, and you are not a loser.Small, baby steps each day add up to huge, giant leaps over time.Rather, it’s necessary in order to make sure that everything else doesn’t come last.
