Assalaam alaikum warhamatullahi wabarakatuhu sis Flowergarden
I'm not gonna let you dip into this depression again sister
Your brother, is here to make you smile.
Once upon a time, I was overwhelmed by so much guilt because of the heinous sins I had committed in life - which I cannot even mention here because I have blocked them in my mind and heart, simply because they will throw me into a depression once again. I've dealt with that mess, and now I look forward to life, not backward to my past
I've learnt that life is a series of hills. When we climb a hill, i'st really hard and we can lose sight of why we are climbing that hill. But once we are on top, we forget that we have suffered and made sacrifices to get there... then on our way down, we pick up so much momentum that we often stumble and fall.
The point is, to pick ourselves back up again and say "Allahu-Akbar" and trust in HIM with happiness in our hearts, because everything HE does, is for our own benefit - even though we may not know it at that time.
Ka shafallaahu durrak. Wa ghafara zambak. Wa 'aafaaka fee deenika wa jasadik.
Translation: May Allah remove your pain, forgive your sins, and grant you strength in your Deen and your health until your death
You will come thru this sister, just smile and forget your woes because they are not static. Nothing in life is ever static. Everything changes, be flexible in mind and heart, so you can bend your own reality to suit you
You've come thru much worse sister, I know this is a small fry compared to what you've had to face before. So face it with strength. Real strength is not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and still move forward... you've done it before, you can do it again

Finally, eat some fruit, and appreciate it. Fruit always tastes good and is great for battling depression
