I know things might feel incredibly dark right now—like there’s no escape from the weight you’re carrying, like nothing makes sense anymore, and like the pain will never end. But please, hold on. Even if everything in you is telling you to give up, I need you to know this: you matter. Your existence isn’t some mistake, and the world isn’t better off without you. That’s not the truth—those are lies that depression tells when it gets too loud.
You might feel like you’re alone, but you’re not. There are people—some you know, and even many you haven’t met—who genuinely care about what happens to you. And even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, your story isn’t over. The way you feel today doesn’t have to be the way you feel tomorrow. Things can shift. Emotions, no matter how intense, are not permanent. There is help, and there is hope, even if you can’t see it from where you are right now.
It’s okay to not be okay. You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself. There are trained professionals—therapists, counselors, crisis workers—who understand what you’re going through and can walk with you through it. You deserve support. You deserve relief. And there are real paths to healing, even if they feel distant. Reaching out for help isn’t weakness; it’s one of the bravest things a person can do.
Please don’t make a permanent decision because of temporary pain. There’s more ahead—moments of peace, of connection, of unexpected beauty. Life has the potential to surprise you in ways you never imagined. You deserve the chance to see that.
If you’re ever in crisis or even just overwhelmed, please talk to someone. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, a doctor, or a crisis line, just don’t isolate yourself. You don’t need to fix everything overnight, and you don’t need to explain it all perfectly. You just need to take that next breath. Then the next one. Then maybe say, “I need help.”
You are not a burden. You are not broken. You are not beyond help.
Please stay. The world is better with you in it. I promise.
