I see you trying to pretend to be happy and that everything is okay.
You try so hard to fool us, but I know how difficult it is for you to keep up this facade.
Depression isn’t something you can just get over and let go of. It is a lifelong battle, but one I will be there to help you through.
1. I might not always physically be there, but my phone is always on.
My love for you is unconditional.
2. I mean this in the nicest way, not everything is about you.
I know it feels like people are judging you and talking about you, but most of the time their probably not. So don’t worry so much.
3. I love you, but when you doubt me, it’s hard to be around you.
I have good intentions so when I tell you something I’m concerned about, it’s sincerely out of love and concern.
4. Your mind is like a maze and you’ve forgotten to leave a way out.
I can help. Let me take your hand a guide you.
5. It’s okay to be alone, don’t feel guilty.
Just don’t forget that it’s healthy to have human contact.
6. It can be good to distract yourself with a hobby.
Let go of your worries for a couple of hours a day and when you’re done, it’s up to you whether you want to pick up those worries again.
7. No one’s perfect.
There’s so many things you can’t control. Keep making new goals. You’re evolving as a person every year, so should your goals. You’ve got this.
8. I will always be your sounding board but remember I’m human too.
I might have to hit class or run to the bathroom and I might not catch your call. Let us be imperfect and we’ll give you our loyalty.
9. No one has ever lived a life that was fair.
No one is out to get you, but yeah some days are going to suck.
10. It’s a good thing to treasure things, but don’t treasure things too much.
I’m trying to put it nicely, but you won’t always get everything you want.
Now breathe. We’ve got this, girl.
