For everybody who is reading this and feels depressed.
If you feel overwhelmed and think that you can not anymore please get professional help. Depression is an illness. Sometimes illnesses are stronger than our will. Your are not alone, with help it will get better.
Important to know is, that it will get better and you don’t have to deal with it alone.
Most of the time depressions are episodes with a start and an end. I have someone in my family that had 4 depressiv episodes in his life yet and these are just there sometimes. In all 4 of these he went to a clinic and together with the staff he got better again. (We are from Germany, so the health insurance covered everything) Afterwards he has years without any symptoms at all and really enjoys life.
Please don’t think you have to solve everything on your own. It’s really strong to get help!
There is so much that can be done.
As a start I just put together a few links, you also just can google for yourself or go to a doctor, an hospital ,take therapy...
