💔 Overcoming the Battles of Depression 💪

Life can be a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs. We all face our fair share of challenges, but one of the toughest battles anyone can face is the battle against depression. It's an invisible enemy that can consume every aspect of our lives, leaving us feeling lost, alone, and hopeless.

But here's the thing: you are stronger than you think. Yes, depression may have its grip on you right now, but it doesn't define you. It's just a chapter in your life, not the whole story. Remember, even the darkest nights eventually give way to dawn.

In the midst of the storm, it's essential to remember that you are not alone. Reach out to your loved ones, friends, or professionals who can offer a listening ear, support, and guidance. They are there to help you navigate through this challenging journey.

It's important to understand that healing from depression is not a linear process. There will be good days and bad days, but each day is a step forward. Be patient with yourself and celebrate even the smallest victories along the way. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small.

Take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Engage in activities that bring you joy and provide a sense of purpose. Exercise regularly, eat nourishing food, and prioritize a good night's sleep. Self-care is not selfish; it's a vital part of your healing journey.

Remember, your thoughts are powerful. Challenge the negative self-talk that depression often brings. Replace those thoughts with positive affirmations and surround yourself with uplifting influences. Fill your mind with hope, gratitude, and self-compassion. You deserve love and happiness.

Lastly, never underestimate the power of seeking professional help. Therapy or counseling can provide you with the tools and strategies needed to overcome depression. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You deserve to live a life free from the chains of depression.

So, my dear friend, keep fighting. The battles of depression may be tough, but you are tougher. Believe in yourself, lean on your support system, and never lose sight of the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel. You are a warrior, and this battle will only make you stronger. 💛

if you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don’t let them be pushed to the side. if you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. if someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. always remind people of their worth. it hurts when it feels like you’re being forgotten. that small gesture can mean a lot.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”
