Depression

Hello Chocolate,

Good morning and so glad to see you reached out.  I can feel the profound heaviness of what you wrote and what you are carrying right now.  So to reach out for support from that place says a lot about who you are and your want for better.

Depression is real and overwhelming.  It is a constant and exhausting dark cloud that makes you feel scared, alone, and lost.  The good news is that those are the loudest feelings right now but they are indeed not the only ones.  I can see you love your family deeply.  There are some barriers that are real and in the way and talking and communicating about them will get them out of your head and help your problem solve what you want in your next steps.  You deserve freedom from these depressive and fearful feelings and you are capable of finding it!

Depression does not get to sit and live with you and does not get to rule your life.  This is a moment....a hard moment - but not a "last forever moment" and that is hard to see when you are struggling with depression.

You are not alone, you are not wrong, and you are worthy of feeling better.  Depression is a symptom not who you are!  You deserve therapy and you are capable of creating what you want!  A lot of times, there are small pivots or changes that can be made in supporting you climbing out of what must feel like a deep dark hole.  Having a support system to talk through, verbally process, and be vulnerable with can be a game changer when you are in big feelings like theses. 

Mental Health Therapy is a good support to walk with you on your journey.  Helps remind you that you are not alone, your value is BIG, and that you are worthy of fighting for a life that you find has peace, joy, and a better work life balance.  When you are feeling these feelings its for a reason, so to be able to sort through them is helpful, supportive, and healing.

You are worthy of healing, I wish you great things on your journey!
