Hi there,
A little while ago, we posted a very short story we wrote on social media that contains a message you may find helpful to hear :)
A One Minute Story About Seeking The Love You Deserve
I recently realised that the reason I've dated narcissists, had friends who've used me and stayed in jobs where I was treated like sh*t is because on some level, it was comfortable.
Comfortable because thanks to my family, I grew up used to being mentally abused.
Comfortable because I'd never felt worthy of being treated any better.
But, I've been working a LOT on myself lately, and I'm finally starting to realise that I do indeed deserve to be treated much better. That I deserve to be treated just as well as I treat others.
Being treated like sh*t needs to stop being the norm. I deserve respect, kindness, honesty, and all of that good stuff.

Just like the narrator in the little story above, our friend, we encourage you to seek the love you deserve, too - not just what feels comfortable.
After all, you deserve all of the "good stuff" too.
All our love,
The Depression Project Team.
