Well put it this way, if we’re not able to see what life is like in some darker if not the darkest of times, how will we know what we can be grateful for.

If it becomes really bad try and find what you can personally to help you, it can be a sense of purpose, it can be someone or something you idolise etc.

I had a long depressive stage of my life but within enough time away due to covid I could re-evaluate my life and get a better sense of self and understanding for the world around me which helped to transition from making bad decisions for my mental health to making better ones and for me it even was a thing of yes I feel emotionally inept and depressed but that will not stop me, that is who I will be.

Just find what can work for you and please by all means speak to people, we’re all here for each other and we live in an age where it’s easy to overlook the ‘funny little people in our screens’ when actually these people serve as our friends and practically our family considering how often we see each other and communicate.

I honestly wish all the best for you Jade and if you ever need to speak, I’m listening.
