If any part of this conversation feels familiar, know this: you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. Depression can make support feel distant or out of reach, but help exists, and recovery is possible.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. You don’t have to feel ready. You just need to take one step. That step might be reaching out to a therapist, talking with a medical provider, or letting someone you trust know you’re struggling. Whatever that step looks like, it matters.
And if you’re wondering whether help could work for you—it can. When you’re ready, support is here.
