To those who are depressed and in misery

I do not know if this post will be seen or not, or even if I am allowed to make it, but here goes nothing.
I have seen many people across FJ, and will continue to see more. But I have encountered some that are in clinical depression or worse. I know what is is like to be depressed. I know how it feels to have the aching cold void within yourself, knowing each day will be a cursed and emotionless existence.
But I changed, I realized that if I needed hope, I had to make it for myself in order to find more.
I became motivated, and now I am pursuing my dream to raise the family I have always wanted, create the games that I have always loved, and live the life I wanted to.
If you are suffering, let me know, I always have a word of happiness for anyone who needs it. Your pains, your suffering, your discontentment at your lot in life, these are things you cannot change. But you can change your fate. If you gain self-respect, and pursue your dreams, no matter the obstacles, you will know that you are worthy of the life that you were given.
Never give up, and never give in. You can make it to the next sunrise, make your life one that people will remember, and show the world that you are here, you are alive.
Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and have a happy new year.
