Dear Kate,
My prayer for you today is joy, and love, and friendship, and that you'll find people to hold you and understand you. Depression is a bitch, and the battle to break it is a tough one. I thank God for the green and yellow pills I take every day, but I remember too well the initial feeling of failure after my diagnosis, the feeling that I should have tried harder, as if the trying could fix it all. In a way, I know how you feel. Trying to balance the dark days and the panic and the anxiety and the obligation to work and do your coursework, and how that can make the thought of another day impossible. But equally, I know how isolated you probably feel, particularly if you don't have many people to talk to about what you're going through.
Please keep going. Please. You are precious, and loved, and not alone. The incredible thing that is Lovebomb will show you that. Take it a step at a time, and celebrate your victories. You woke up today. Celebrate that. If all you manage to do some days is breathe, then that's great. Celebrate that. I want to tell you that you are brave, that you are incredible, that you are loved. Please don't be afraid of asking for the help you need, and sod what other people think. This is about you. I (and I'm definitely not alone in this) can love you and pray for you from far away, and the people who love you close-to will support you through anything, particularly those you've had the amazing courage to talk to about what you're going through. You are incredible.
Don't give up. This will get better. You are loved, you are loved, you are loved.
Stevey xx
