What if Depression lived with you?

WHAT IF??

what if everyday it was hard getting out of bed and you had to force yourself?

What if every week you had to convince yourself to not give up?

What is three times per month you cried yourself to sleep because the world seems like such a dark place?

what if you had to take medication that gave you a migraine headache and fever?

what if you did not take your medication you felt helpless and hopeless and it gave you an upset stomach?

What if three times per week you had to force yourself to eat something, because your appetite was zero?

what if you can hardly sleep most of the time and have to operate on 2-4 hours of sleep?

what if your minds tells you that people are against you?

what if when you feel down you think about; almost everything you should have done differently?

what if disappointment felt like someone was driving a knife through your heart?

what if very little makes you smile?

what if you are constantly trying to create your own sunshine?

what if feeling utterly exhausted represented every day of your life? 

What if you thought about suicide ten or fifteen times per month; even though you did not have a plan. It is a terrifying thought.

What if you know GOD saves your life everyday? Or you might be dead.

what if you feel all alone in room with those who care about you the most-

yet, day in and day out you have to PUSH THROUGH. Who wants to trade places?? you, you, you.

No one does.

We never know what someone is really going through.

Mental illness is debilitating and does not discriminate; it is one of the most stigmatized diseases on the planet. Thank God every day you do not have a mental illness that most people think is a weakness, a crutch and an excuse.
