Darkness is a place I’ve visited and stayed in for long periods. I found the hallway out each time. It you believe you are at a dead end, I assure you there is a hallway to take. If you don’t have someone to talk to call the Suicide Prevention line — 1-800-273-8255. If I can help, I’m a good listener. Email me, leave a comment, I will get back to you. There are tools, free tools, that anyone in the U.S. can access if you are depressed.
Don’t get stuck in the dead end. Find the hallway and keep going. You are special. You have worth. Depression tells you you’re not. But depression is a liar. You are loved.
