Karma has nothing to do with your suffering, either.
The truth is this:
Depression does not give a shit about who you are.
It has nothing to do with you at all.
Youre depressed because you have depression.
Its a mental illness that is based on a variety of chemical and/or situational factors.
It does not discriminate.
It can truly happen to anyone.
Even those who, on paper, have best lives, or are the luckiest around.
Those with solid jobs and stable relationships and good families and beautiful talents.
Lucas Pimenta
It does not matter.
Depression can and will prey on them, too.
Of course, I understand you may not feel this way.
I know what depression says to you, what is has you believing.
Depression is much louder than the voice of reason.
It has you convinced that this is all of your fault.
Depression tells you that your inability to concentrate is simply because you are unintelligent and lack drive.
But these are not truths.
These are the symptoms of depression.
These arent character flaws.
These are the side effects of a mind that is sick.
I sympathize that it is scary to reveal the darkest parts of yourself when you are already so low.
But you must.
You must seek help.
There is no reason to go through this alone.
There are hotlines and therapists and medicines and websites.
