Well I do hope your light becomes brighter. It can be very hard. Personally... There is a lot to learn to help with depression and anxiety. For me it was. I hope you find a good friend to let your emotions spill out and talk and stuff.
And good on you seeking professional help. Helped me.

I know you're not asking for advice, but finding the right therapist you feel safe with can really change your life.
It did for me. 💙 I had to reach rock bottom, I called her when I brutalized myself and didn't go to the hospital (I really should have, but I was scared).
It took me months to make that call to her, but I was so vulnerable, sad, and pretty close to wanting to end myself.
I am SO much happier today. With the right maintenance and supports, you can get to a better place. 💙💙

There is nothing to say that you won't be free from depression and anxiety once day. You can still return to being cheerful. Depression and anxiety are far from a life sentence in many cases. Besides which, we're constantly evolving as time passes and so you'd never really be who you were years before. You'd always be a version of yourself. So you can still go through depression and anxiety and even with the battle scars you can come out of it a contented person.
