Depression can feel like living in a deep, dark hole. You may have no energy, no hope that things will improve. You may be hearing some of the lies that depression tells us; it will never get better, you've already tried everything, why bother, you're always going to feel this way. Depression may tell you that you aren't strong enough to make changes in your life. Depression can drain the joy out of a sunny day, leaving you feeling hopeless and exhausted. You may be wondering how everyone else has it all sorted, and believe that if you were just a better person, you'd be ok.
