No! I hate to be that cliché ‘it all gets better!’, but I’m a firm believer that things do improve.

How you’re feeling right now isn’t a permanent state. It might feel like it will be because it rules your life, but it isn’t! What it takes is the right combination of things you love. Things aren’t easy for you right now. That doesn’t mean that’ll always be the case. Things change, people change, situations change! It won’t last forever.

Being depressed or suicidal now doesn’t mean you don’t have a shot at happiness. You do, and it will come.

Think of it like a tunnel. Right now, you’re in the middle of that tunnel. It’s dark. You can’t see the entrance, you can’t see the exit. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. There was a time before you felt this way, that’s the entrance. There will be the time after, that’s the exit. It might feel like it’s a long walk to get to the other end of the tunnel. But it’s there. You have to keep pushing through.
