Depression feels like drowning

Depression feels like drowning.

Drowning that you can’t escape, no matter how long you kept your head above water.

You’re not drowning.

A wave may have washed over you, and it may have even knocked you down.

Trust that it’s temporary.

You are not trapped in the sand and unable to rise above.

Your feet are planted and your mind is strong

Remember your life is valued and your time is important.

Lift your head up high and continue to live above water.
