To anyone out there living with depression,

You are not crazy, you are just on your path to enlightenment.
It’s not a case of a veil of misery and negativity being pulled in front of your eyes, but more like a naive veil of happiness and positive thinking being lifted and all you can see is a missable pointless truth.

Does it feel like happiness was a naive lie and the depression is a more realistic truth? And now you have seen it you can’t un-see it.
You are not wrong, you are becoming aware of the fact that in our current material, scientific, mechanistic cosmology (the way we were brought up to think), yes, life is pointless, has no meaning and is full of endless pain.

But please hold on! Because even though the dark veil of lies has been lifted and the light hurts your eyes, you are just adjusting to the light; as your /eye\ adjusts you will begin to see more, and become aware, enlightened and healed by the fact that life does have meaning, no matter who you are or what your circumstances are. Both the good parts of life and the suffering have meaning, and you are not here against your will.

When you find that meaning, it will justify life’s suffering.
