Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before, you've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you. They're painful and debilitating but you can sit with them and eventually they will pass, maybe not immediately but sometime soon they are going to fade and when they do you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resistance. I know it feels unbearable now but keep breathing again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

"It is what I was born with, eyes that have only seen the wonder in everything! Eyes that see lights in the trees and magic in the air. This wonder is what I put into the world, and what I protect in children."

-North (Rise of the Guardians)

This doesn't seem like an inspiring quote, but it is to me.

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."

Depression sucks. Yeah, it really does. However, just because you've got something about you that might never go away, doesn't mean you have to pressure yourself into finding the quickest way to numb the pain. Sometimes, what you want isn't what you need, and you need to remember that life is about pain and happiness running like rivers through it. Stop stressing about how long you have until you reach your breaking point, and start focusing on how long you have until you reach a better self.

The game of life is hard. The results might not be what you had hoped. It hurts and makes you feel like shit. It brings you down on some days and completely drains you of energy. It kills you inside slowly, it deteriorates your soul. Though, as long as you stay strong and keep your chin held high, no one can ever bring you down. For every bad thing that happens later on something good will balance it out. Everything will balance in the end just like how the world thrives on balance. This game of life that we play is the most hardest game of all. You might want to give up and never play it again. However, you only have just fallen into a hole. A hole has an exit, a way out of the darkness. You may think that you are lost and done for, but as long as you do not give up you can escape. Stand back up, find salvation, find that helping hand. Hell if it's a spiders string take it and hold on to it. Climb out with all your might, use your failures and misteps as fuel for your ambitions. If you can find the string, follow the light. Even if it doesn't seem like there is one, look around. There is always light, you just have to find it, but once you do... follow it. You are a strong person, I believe in you. As long as you continue moving forward, smiling with your chin held high then no man can ever bring you down. The game of life is a harsh and scary game but at the same time it is fun, thrilling and worth it.
