Stormy Weather

Dear, Teacoa

I know you are feeling overwhelmed by depression right now, I want you to know you're not alone. It might feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but there’s no shame in struggling. This moment doesn’t define you. Depression is like a storm. It clouds everything, makes you feel stuck. But just like storms, it won’t last forever. The sun will come back, even if you can’t see it now.

If today feels too heavy, that’s okay. You don’t need to climb mountains or solve everything all at once. Just focus on one thing. One small step—getting out of bed, drinking water, texting a friend. Small wins matter.You are not your depression. It might try to convince you otherwise, but it doesn’t speak the truth about your worth, your potential, or your future.

Please, if you can, reach out to someone. A friend, family member, therapist, or support hotline. Sharing how you feel isn’t a burden on others; it’s a brave act of connection.

Always remember that healing takes time, and that’s okay. Be patient with yourself. There’s no timeline for feeling better, and progress isn’t always linear. But you are so worthy of the journey to better days.

Even in the dark, there are people who care about you deeply, whether they’ve told you recently or not. You matter. Your presence in this world is important.

I know how strong and aware that you are You’ve already taken a step toward hope. Hold onto that. There’s strength in seeking out support, even through a tweet. You’re stronger than you think.and your people love you so incredibly much.

One day, this storm will pass, and you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Until then, hold on. You’re worth fighting for. Always.

Sending you all the love, patience, and hope in the world. You are not alone.

Keep going.

Self.
