There was once a time when I wished I wasn’t alive. I wished I hadn’t survived my brain surgery. ⠀

Depression is REAL.⠀
Depression is HARD.⠀
Depression is INVASIVE.⠀
Depression is PERSUASIVE.⠀
⠀
It feels like you are in the middle of a long tunnel.⠀
⠀
When you look ahead of you everything looks black; when you look behind you everything looks dark also.⠀
⠀
HOWEVER, if you just keep stepping one foot in front of the other, you will eventually start to see a tiny glimmer of light.⠀
⠀
When you keep walking, that small glimmer becomes bigger and bigger, until ultimately you are out on the other side.⠀
⠀
However, it requires you to take one step at a time to keep moving forward. You have to keep “pressing on.”⠀
⠀
I’ve been there.⠀
There was darkness all around me.⠀
⠀
I am so proud to say that I have come out on the other side, and the view is amazing.⠀
⠀
You can do it too!
