There is hope for recovery from depression from "summary" of Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig
Depression is a beast. It can chew you up and spit you out. It can make you feel like there is no way out, like you are trapped in a never-ending nightmare. But the thing about nightmares is that they eventually end. The thing about depression is that it can be beaten. It is not easy, I won't lie to you. Recovery is a journey with ups and downs, twists and turns. But it is a journey worth taking. There are moments when you will feel like giving up. Moments when the darkness seems too overwhelming, too suffocating. But those are the moments when you need to hold on the tightest. Those are the moments when you need to remind yourself that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if you can't see it right now. Recovery is not a straight line. It is a messy, complicated process. There will be setbacks, there will be days when you feel like you are back at square one. But those setbacks are not the end of the road. They are just detours on the path to healing. Every step you take, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Every moment you survive is a victory. Hope is a powerful thing. It is the light that guides you through the darkness. It is the voice that whispers in your ear, telling you to keep going. It may be hard to hear that voice sometimes, but it is always there, waiting for you to listen. So listen to it. Trust in it. Believe that there is a way out, even when it seems like there isn't. Recovery is possible. It may not be easy, it may not be quick, but it is possible. You are not alone in this fight. There are people who care about you, people who want to help you, people who believe in you. Lean on them, lean on their strength when yours is waning. And remember, above all, that you are stronger than you think. You have survived every bad day so far. You can survive this one too.
