Depressed child, if you can make it through the moment, you have won a victory all by yourself. To simply fight, and make it through another day is something. Take it one clock tick or breath or keystroke at a time. Time and fear can never defeat you if you stay inside each moment. This is not hiding, it is surviving. We used to live this way as children, and somewhere along the line we thought bigger and got ahead of ourselves. Go back to being a child. Anxious, frightened child, your tears are nothing to be ashamed of. Blurt it out to the world and get it out of your body. We have senses so we can use them. Take one moment at a time, feel content about one thing at a time.
