Letting go
Letting go is one of the hardest things to do when you’re depressed.
You hold on to thoughts that hurt you. You replay conversations, regrets, and what-ifs. You carry old shame like it’s a part of who you are.
Sometimes the pain becomes part of your identity. It feels safer to cling to the familiar than to face the unknown without it.
But holding on is heavy. And the truth is, some of the things you’re holding were never meant to stay.
You don’t have to carry every mistake. You don’t have to keep proving how broken you are. You don’t have to keep punishing yourself just because you’ve been hurt.
Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening your grip on what’s hurting you. So you can breathe again. So you can heal.
It might not happen all at once. But maybe you can start with one thought. One memory. One moment of kindness toward yourself.
That’s how freedom begins.What’s something you’re ready to let go of, even if it’s just for 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.
