Hey. I get it. Depression isn't just feeling sadâit's like a heavy blanket that makes everything feel gray and exhausting. First, please know you're not alone in this, even when it feels that way. It's okay to not be okay. One small thing that can help is just getting outside for five minutes. Seriously, even sitting on your doorstep and breathing fresh air can shift something tiny inside. Or try texting one person you trust and saying, "Having a tough day." You don't need to explain everythingâjust reaching out can lighten the load a little. And if you can, talk to a doctor or therapist. Itâs not a sign of weaknessâitâs like calling a guide when you're lost in the woods. Be gentle with yourself today. You donât have to fix everything at once. Just take one small step. I'm rooting for you.
