Hi Emily, thanks so much for posting here! Depression is one of the most difficult things a person can go through and I'm really glad that you're able to find support on this forum.

You are not alone, and though I can't speak for your situation - and therefore can't give encouragement likeit will get betteretc - I can say that you are probably much stronger than you think. Human beings in general have an amazing capacity to survive and overcome even the toughest challenges, and you are no different. Even in your weakest-feeling moment, you still have enough strength to survive.

I've battled depression myself for years, although I manage it now. One of the ways I manage it is by listening on this site - helping other people makes me feel better about myself!

If you'd ever like to set up a time to chat, I'd be happy to talk more. You deserve to be happy and loved and safe.
