Almost a million Australians are depressed. It is not a sign of weakness or lack of discipline if you cannot just shake it off. In fact, almost 50% of people who experienced depression in the past find that it comes back, despite the fact that they managed full recovery.

Why can’t I succeed?
I hate myself
I don’t think I can go on
I am worthless
I am up against the world
No one understand me
I feel so helpless
Nothing feels good anymore
What is wrong with me
My life is a mess
