Depression is not easy.
Many people feel ashamed to feel depressed.
“It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop.”Many suicides have happened from depression, thinking there is no way out of it.
PEOPLE MUST NOT FEEL ASHAMED TO BE DEPRESSED.
Depression is part of life, some people have it, some don't.
Everyone has their own reasons to be depressed, its unfair to judge someone if they're depressed.
Everyones reasons from depression are different, some see it as a way to make people feel worse about themselves.
If you are depressed it is important you tell people and talk about it, IT IS NOT WORTH TAKING A LIFE FOR.
