I see this in my office often. It’s heavy to carry this type of depression as it difficult for others to understand how someone who presents so put together can suffer from depression.

Dysthymia can be characterized as a low-level, chronic feeling of despair.

During difficult times, it’s hard to know what to say. Sometimes we want to be helpful when our loved ones are hurting, but we inadvertently are hurtful because we say things that feel minimizing. If you really want to help a person who is hurting, don’t try to make them feel differently. Just be there and validate their struggle. Let them know you are a safe person to be sad with and that you are willing to sit with them in their pain rather than trying to “snap them out of it” because their emotion makes YOU uncomfortable.
Sometimes the best thing to do is the simplest: just be there. ❤️

Failure is part of healthy growth. If we have failed at something that means that we have tried something. It's a time to reflect on things learned in the process. Recovery from failure is resiliency and resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. So go ahead be brave....try and fail you might learn a lot!
