During a depressive episode, I lose all interest in things I normally enjoy. Even taking my dog for a walk becomes so difficult. This afternoon, I pushed myself to take him out even though I didn’t feel like it. I know getting into nature helps my mental health, so off we went.

This little guy is the reason I’m still alive. In all honesty, he is the last and only reason I’m still here today. Depression has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. I’m trying my best to remind myself tonight that he needs me here with him.🤍

As I sit on the beach in tears I’ve realised I’ve had a win today by simply getting out of my bed. This has been the hardest day yet. I haven’t slept in days and I had to fight with myself to get up and outside, but we’ve somehow made it here. When you feel as low as this

Depression is so much more than just sadness. For me it leaves me unable to get out of my bed. It brings anxiety that is so severe I vomit. Night terrors which wake me up in a panic. It makes me unable to focus on anything. I can’t eat, I lose interest in all the things I

'Reach out if you're struggling with your mental health', they said. 'Ask for help', they said. I'm exhausted. I have been reaching out (for current episode) since 2019. I am worse now. I am really exhausted and pretty suicidal. I spoke to 111 for 90 minutes. I am alone again.

Being suicidal isn't always about wanting to die. It's more about desperately wanting your current pain and suffering to end. You're aware that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but you feel so far inside that tunnel that the end seems so impossibly distant.
