For those who know depression – who battle to survive on days like these:
On days like these…. it’s hard to find the point…the reason that I’m here…
It’s hard to keep on putting one foot in front of each other because I can’t remember why I was doing it in the first place.
On days like these…when my thoughts are a jumble in my head and I can’t work out which line of thinking I usually follow…
It’s hard to work…to do the things I normally do…the things that once seemed significant – I can’t remember why.
On days like these…when dark thoughts hang around, waiting to pounce and bring me down emotionally in a weak moment…
It’s hard to stay strong and live knowing that I am loved and that I do have people around me who care.
On days like these…it’s too easy to give up.
I’m so glad that days like these are not forever…for me at least.
For others, I know the battle is stronger; fiercer; hungrier and it’s hard to hold on.
But for all of us who have days like these we need to remember –
WE ARE IMPORTANT; WE ARE LOVED.
On days like these…don’t let your feelings tell you otherwise.

Every person on this planet should have a place to call home.
-
A place where they are seen and heard.
-
Where they are loved and cared for.
-
Where they are significant and important.
-
Where they can relax and be…just be…who they really are.
This is my purpose – on days like these and every other day – to reach out and help others who battle the
darkness of depression. To help them to know there is someone who cares; someone who knows what it’s
like…on days like these…
