Does it mean ?

When you don't want to fight it anymore is when you are in the dark place. It feels like there's no escape, that fighting is futile. How long can you carry on fighting the inevitable? The pain is never going to end, the only way to escape it is to let the darkness take you.

The only problem is that the darkness is a logical fallacy. It isn’t dark at all. The darkness is merely one colour in a world where many others exist. What is 0currently happening is that something is obstructing your perception of all the other colours. It's either something blocking the light or there is a bug in your settings. So the good news is the darkness is inevitable but so is the light. They exist within the same realm and are subject to both the laws of existence in their realm,their physics so to speak. If pain and darkness are inevitable so are light and joy.

The bad news is the only way to reach the light and joy is to endure the darkness and pain while working to clear the obstruction and/or readjust the settings.

Depression is a disease that blocks us from seeing and feeling the light. It's a disease that we cannot give into. I have battled it all my life. I almost lost my life to it in 2018. I gave into the darkness but I was lucky enough to survive. 6 years later and I am still kicking. It got better because it always can. We just have to fight to get there. I have bipolar 2 and depression is something I fight daily. I'm on medication and when I can afford it I go to therapy. I try different coping mechanisms to help navigate it. The best thing that ever happened to me was waking up the day after I tried to end it all because even though I've felt depression,sorrow and grief since then and fight suicidal ideation off and on, I've also been able to experience love and joy and many other things that are inevitable as long as we fight to stay alive.

Please continue to fight to stay alive. But even if you are ever to lose the battle,know that you are a champion for all the years you have been fighting.
@PinkMoon feel I've been fighting it as long as I can remember. Never planned on making it to 20, now 50 is approaching in a few years
Or neither. Poster above mentioned apathy but it could be varied reasons, like focusing on something else in the meantime.

Apathy takes over generally
