Introduction

This moment, is a very powerful moment for you.

It is the moment when you decided to take control of your life and seek help by stumbling onto this page.

First of all, I want to commend you for making an effort and not just giving up.

That takes courage.

While these affirmations for depression will help “spark” you, it is going to be up to you to keep that spark lit every single day especially when challenges arise (because they will).

Here is something VERY important that you need to understand…

People who are happy and successful experience difficult times just like you. The only difference is how they choose to respond.

Every day, you have a choice…

Option 1 – Choose to respond from love, strength, & courage (move forward)

Option 2 – Choose to react from fear, anger, stress, and anxiety (give up)

The choice is yours and always will be.

If you truly want to transform and heal your depression, you are going to have to get to the root cause of the issue and face it.

Until you do, everything you try will only act as a bandaid sweeping the problem under a rug until you face it head on.

There comes a time when you will be happy to be alive again
and that day you will appreciate your own being
because now you know the other side.
Now you know the opposite.
Now you know what it’s like to not be sure if you really are; who
you really are;
if you simply are, anymore.
And that day
will be the beginning of everything.
― Charlotte Eriksson
