I Battle Depression

Depression is such a monster to battle. It takes away your hope and dreams, it crushes self-esteem and rips apart your will to endure. It makes you feel like the whole world is against you and it just keeps on beating you and kicking you when you're already down.
It also makes you forget that you had a powerful weapon in your arsenal, one that can blow away these dark clouds. Trust in your friends, your family, any who would stand by you in these darkest of nights. This fight is far from over.
Depression will try to make you think that your friends couldn't care less about your problems, that they have struggles of their own that are already sapping all of their strength.
But that's the thing about love. Wherever it exists, it is limitless. You are important. You are worth the struggle, worth the fight.
Depression will make you feel like you have to fight it all alone. It will make you fight it on its ground and it will crush you there and then.
But here's the thing - you are not alone. You needn't fight it alone. We can beat this monster. We can win this war.

You're not alone.
