Rich shares his story about depression, an attempt at suicide, and recovery.
You are worthy of recovery.
“I stayed inside my basement for about a year. I rarely left. I went through the process of covering my windows with cardboard. I was in this darkness – emotionally, but even literally. I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, it just never appeared to me that this was ever going to end.”
“I was slowly able to build myself to be able to talk about the depressive thoughts and feelings that were inside of me. I was able to get help from my friends, family, and eventually a doctor, and then a psychologist.”
“I’ve learned that now I can live a life with depression, yet still be happy. And that I’m worth that.”
– Rich, mental health advocate
