To Everyone Struggling With Depression Right Now: I Love You. Your Brain Is Lying To You. Things Can

To everyone struggling with depression right now: I love you. Your brain is lying to you. Things can get better, even if it doesn't feel like they can. It's okay to be sad, to feel, to hurt. It's okay for that pain to stop you for a little while, but it can get better.

You are enough, even if people don't always see it, even if you don't see it. If you have people in your life who tell you you're important to them, believe them. If you don't have anyone else who will tell you it, you're important to me. You're important because you are you.

To everyone having problems reaching out, it can be hard, but it can be worth it. When I was at my lowest points, reaching out saved my life, and friends reaching out saved theirs. There are people who want to be here for you, and that goes without exception. There's people that you may not know or know very little, who want you to be okay. I highly encourage you to find local resources if they're available.

I know these words aren't perfect, and are not relevant to every situation. I just want you to know you're loved, things can get better, and I'm rooting for you.

I’ll say this about the new Fallout show; it at least has allowed me to identify the absolute nutters in the community and provide a free block list for me. Seriously people, calm the fuck down…y’all are making me dislike New Vegas by association.
