“Hurt depression and sadness are sweeping our land from evil and madness, which go hand in hand. The violence, corruption, chaos, and greed—the hateful, the sinful, and the pain—all feed.

“A deadly cycle Struggling with depression and anxiety is like having two contradicting voices inside your head. You care too much and don’t care at all… You are lonely and isolated, but too overwhelmed to socialize. During the day, you’re completely worn out and can’t get anything done, but later that night, you’ll lie awake in bed, worrying about the things you didn’t do. Anxiety tells you to get up and fight your battles, but depression tells you you’ve already lost them. You over-analyze the future while feeling hopeless at the same time. You wake up caring about everything just to realize that nothing matters… You worry about your appearance, but you’re too tired to even comb your hair. Anxiety tells you to get up and achieve your dreams, or otherwise, you will fall behind in life, while depression convinces you you’re worthless, so there is no point in trying… You overthink while feeling completely numb. Depression makes you exhausted, but your racing thoughts won’t let you sleep. You are drained but restless. Depression makes it hard to see a bright future, and anxiety makes you think your future is filled with nothing but dread. You fear death, but you want the pain to leave. It’s like you are constantly being dragged out of a pitch-black room into burning sunlight and then thrown back into the darkness again. Having to endlessly adapt to the changing landscape every single day.”

You are not a mistake; you were never broken; you were never wrong or incomplete. These dark feelings and thoughts are new to you. They are not you. You are so much more. Please remember this during your darkest times.”
