This really struck me, it's so real, so common among those who struggle with depression. I think it's almost impossible to get out of depression alone; it haunts and robs the joy of living. Self care is so important for each of us. But it takes motivation, and depression robs us of motivation. When dark depression overtakes us, just getting out of bed is a major accomplishment; and getting out of bed is the first step of self-care. Oh but one person, just one, that befriends the person in depression can make a huge impact.
