I am a 22 year old girl living with depression. It’s all I can do, write about it. I have no energy to do anything else and when my writing dries up, so does the hope in my life. The world feels like a dark place where nothing good is happening or will happen again. On days like today, it’s hard to get out of bed knowing what lays ahead for me – another day of darkness and sadness.
