Hey I’m here to talk to you about depression. I know it’s not the most comfortable subject to talk about but there is no reason to be ashamed. For awhile I was embarrassed to even admit to myself I struggled with it. But through God I realized it’s okay and He can help not just me but you through it. You can overcome it. Trust me YOU can overcome it. But there’s one important detail…..you need God. He’s the only One who can truly help you deal with it through the worst times. Your parents, teachers etc. can help you but they may not always be there for you and maybe you don’t want to talk to them about it. But you can talk to God about it because He loves you more then anyone else and He understands you. And hey I may not know you but I love you and want you to be able to overcome your depression just like me. We may never meet or we just may but just know I’m supporting you and rooting for you to win this fight. And I’m not saying it’s super easy because trust me it’s not. You are a warrior in God’s Kingdom. Just remember that. Remember He loves you and thinks you’re amazing even when others say you aren’t. When you have a hard day dealing with depression don’t just try but give it your all and talk with God while reading His Word. And if it takes telling yourself you’re amazing and worth it in the mirror go ahead and do it. Or if you want to do what I do and post notes in places you’ll see saying you’re amazing or you did great today or God loves you then do it. Don’t worry about what other people think. Do what you know is good for you and what will help you get through that rough spot. And if you ever see me and want to talk go for it. I won’t judge you. I struggle too and would love to reach out to someone else. Just always remember God loves you even when you think no one does.
