The truth about depression no one wants to say

When you're deep in depression, it feels like you're waiting. Waiting for something to change. For someone to show up. For a reason to get out of bed.

And it’s understandable. That pain is real.

But here's the truth.

No one is coming to save you.

And before that breaks your heart, hear the rest: No one needs to.

You don’t need a hero. You need belief. Not in everything. Not all at once. Just in yourself. Enough to begin.

That belief starts small.

Getting out of bed. Drinking water. Answering that message. Doing the one thing you’ve been avoiding.

Because the less you believe in yourself, the more that belief fades. But the moment you try, you begin to prove to yourself that you can. And the more you try, the more you become.

You are the solution you’ve been waiting for.

What’s one small act of belief you can show yourself today?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.

Your thoughts don’t define you.

Your thoughts don’t define you. Neither do your emotions or your past experiences.

They come and go, and sometimes they’re heavy. But underneath them all, there’s you. The part of you that notices, chooses, and keeps going.

When you start seeing your thoughts as just thoughts, they lose their power. They’re not facts. They’re not destiny. They’re just passing through.

You are not the noise in your head. You are the one strong enough to witness it and keep moving forward.

What’s one thought you’ve learned to stop believing?

Every sunrise is proof you get another chance.

Every morning is a reset.

Your mind will drag yesterday into today. It will replay mistakes, regrets, and worries, convincing you that nothing can change. But that isn’t true.

The past only has power if you keep carrying it. The truth is, you are born again every morning with another chance to choose differently, to start fresh, to live the life you actually want.

Don’t waste today replaying yesterday. Use today to create tomorrow.

What’s one thing you want to focus on today?

your breath

So much of depression pulls you into the past or the future. Regrets about what happened. Fear about what’s coming.

But the present moment often gets forgotten. And the truth is, the present is the only place where healing can actually begin.

Your breath is the anchor. When you pay attention to it, even for just a few seconds, you pull yourself out of the endless cycle of “what was” and “what if.”

That simple act is not small. It is the doorway to change. Because when you are here, in this moment, you have the power to begin again.

Do you ever notice how your breath changes when you bring your awareness to it?

Where healing begins

We live in a world that constantly tells us to move faster. Achieve more. Chase the next thing. And in that rush, we forget how to simply exist.

When you’re caught in depression, this pressure feels even heavier. Every thought becomes about what you don’t have, what you should have done, what you’re missing. But life is not always found in striving. Sometimes it’s found in pausing.

Take one moment to breathe. To notice the air, the light, the feeling of being alive right now. Not fixing. Not rushing. Just being.

That’s where healing begins.

When was the last time you let yourself simply be without pressure or judgment?

Compassion

So many people pour their hearts out for others. They listen, they comfort, they show up. But when it comes to themselves, they are ruthless. They judge, they criticize, they punish.

That is not compassion. That is conditional care. And conditional care cannot heal.

True compassion is not complete until it includes you. You deserve the same patience, the same forgiveness, the same kindness you give so freely to others.

Depression convinces you that you don’t. But that voice is lying. Compassion begins where the judgment ends.

So, what would change if you finally gave some compassion to yourself?

what part of your life are you ready to reset today?

So many people believe there’s an expiration date on starting over. They tell themselves, “It’s too late. I should have figured it out by now.”

But the truth is, life doesn’t work like that.

As long as you are alive, the reset button is still there. You can start over at 30, at 40, at 60. You can rebuild, restart, reinvent—again and again if you need to.

Depression convinces you that your chance has passed. But as long as you’re breathing, it hasn’t.

So here’s the question: if the reset button is always pressable, what part of your life are you ready to reset today?

Letting go

The past has a way of chaining itself to you. Mistakes, regrets, heartbreaks—your mind replays them over and over until it feels like you’re stuck there forever.

But if you don’t let the past die, it won’t let you live.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means refusing to give old pain control over your present. It means choosing to live for what’s ahead, instead of being dragged down by what’s already behind you.

So here’s the question: what’s one thing from your past that you’re ready to release today?

Wednesday

I have therapy at 11am till noon. I'm planning to tell him how bad the depression is right now. We have an assessment for when I feel depressed or down.
AThen at 6pm I have a telehealth appointment with my diabetes specialist. I don't know what we're doing during the session.
Pauley joins the session. My instructor has said that Pauley joining my calls shows how devoted to me and supportive she is.
I took my night meds including 3 hydroxyzine and 1 tramadol. My mid back hurts so much.
I found more support groups on Facebook. One is Dating for Transgender people. I haven't really had much experience being around trans guys. Most of my experiences are with MtF trans girls and androgynous trans people.
I also found a group for Asexuals seeking non sexual partners. It's pretty active. I feel really good in the groups.
I'm really craving fried chicken and fried okra. Oh and mmmmmmm fried plantains!!! And roasted cabbage with bacon. And the rice from the Jamaican restaurant in Detroit. It's soooooo good.
My favorite culinary cultures are Japanese, Chinese, Mexican street food, and Jamaican food. I want to learn more about their food / culture. My Google foo tells me there's a Jamaican restaurant in my town. I'll have to see if I can order from doordash.

Invest in yourself

Think of all the ways you invest in others—your work, your friends, your family.

Now ask yourself, when was the last time you truly invested in you?

Meditation, reading, nourishing your body, moving, resting, connecting with nature… these aren’t luxuries. They’re reminders that you are worthy of care.

Depression and self-doubt will try to convince you that you don’t matter. But every glass of water, every deep breath, every healthy meal, every small act of self-care is proof that you do.

So here’s the challenge: what’s one way you’ll invest in yourself today?
