This is the video I needed. I always think I'm starting to have depression, I tend to be very down and hate myself at those times, and sometimes I think about suicide... I don't want to do it, and I'm even afraid to, but I think about it time to time, it's just going through my mind...

[CRYCES]

[judithwijnants]

I honestly never thought depression could’ve been a cause of these feelings bcs Compared to other people my life isn’t even that bad and I actually feel kinda selfish for feeling this way...
Also a big virtual hug for everyone out here x I love y’all

the thing is, it's not you're fault. depression just comes no matter what you do, or what happens. its not your fault, remember that, stay with us, there's no point in leaving when something just happens. ily all and good luck to anyone struggling, you can do it <3

Does anyone else KNOW they're depressed? Everything always ticks the boxes and it's clear as day, but you're too depressed to go through the trouble of helping yourself talk to someone to get through it? Yeah, me too
