I think this is worth a repost. It was a reply to another thread asking people to be real and asking if we were okay. I wrote: 100% Just fought some bad depression, but notice the word "fought". I'm 50. I've been at this a while. I tried suicide many years ago. No more of that bullshit. There is no giving up. You keep going no matter how hard it is because you matter. I know I matter. I'm not always fine, but I'm always going to be okay.
