# words of care for the depressed mind
|
|
|
|
this is a post for me as much as it is for you, whoever you are. these are things i keep in mind as i navigate my mental health journey. they are important thoughts i feel anyone should want to keep in mind as they navigate mental health

someone will listen, if you allow yourself to talk
|
|
|
|
someone will understand, if you allow yourself to express your feelings
|
|
|
|
someone will care, if you let them in
|
|
|
|
you are not as alone as it feels, many have walked this path. many people want to see you get better
|
|
|
|
people would care if you disappeared one day. so maybe stick around for a bit, even if it is just to see what happens next
|
|
|
|
happiness, sadness, loss, grieving. these are all part of being human. for someone with depression, these are sometimes magnified. it does not mean it is forever. it does not mean you will never see happiness again
|
|
|
|
people worry about you because they care. you are not a burden, it is okay to let them in and help them understand what you are feeling
|
|
|
|
it is okay to ask for help when you need it. it is okay to take breaks when you need them. getting better doesn't have to be done alone. getting better doesn't happen right away
|
|
|
|
there is beauty in you, as hard as it is to see sometime. but you know others see it, so let yourself see it sometimes too
|
|
|
|
this gets easier with time, you'll understand yourself better with time. you can let go of things with time, you can be happy again, with time
|
|
|
|
you are a wonderful human being, both myself and you, the reader. perhaps there is a long road ahead of us. but we can do this. i'll believe in you because i know others would do the same for me
|
|
|
|
take care of yourself out there, there's a lot of beauty in this world. even if our minds want to hide it from us sometimes
