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!
