Dear Depression, I Never Thought I Would Thank You…Until Now

Thank you.
 

Thank you for allowing me to prove to myself and the world how strong I am.
 

Thank you for allowing me to discover which friends are actually invested in the friendship.
 

Thank you for allowing me to move closer to my higher power.
 

Thank you for allowing me to be sensitive to others.
 

Thank you for allowing me to learn not to judge others.
 

Though I thank you, know this: you will not win.
 

Fighting you has been a tremendous battle for me. But even in the pain, I am thankful that you have made me stronger and more determined to live my life to my fullest potential. I never thought I would thank you through the pain. I never thought I would thank you through the sleepless nights and restless days. I never thought I would thank you through the tears.
 

But I do…because you’ve made me a better person; I am strong. I am beautiful. I am loved.
 

Sincerely,

Corinne Lyons
