^ It might seem endless, maybe. But how long have you been doing these things, really?
2 years? A decade? It might take longer. But time doesn't matter. Your effort and purpose does.
Health and happiness are a route, not a final destination.
But as you work, over time, you will see results.
Undoubtedly.
If you die, not only will you not see results, but you will hurt the people you love more than you can possibly imagine.
If you live, you can work toward health and happiness and become a force for good in this world.
You can start your life anew any day you choose.
Wake up early, meditate or pray, go for a walk or run.
Eat healthy food.
Figure out what you love. Music, art, animals, physics, cooking, movies, traveling, car racing...
Doesn't matter what it is, as long as you love it.
Then, do it. Focus on it. Become an expert in it.
As you learn, and progress, you will naturally see your depression weaken.
It might not fade entirely, but it will get weaker and weaker.
You live in a beautiful area. You have culture and nature.
Use both to heal.
Go see live music. You have the best bookstores and restaurants in the world in the Bay Area. Use them.
You can go to amazing beaches and forests. Use nature.
Maybe you are young. Maybe not. Doesn't matter. Time will help you, as long as you keep working toward your goal.
You won't be depressed forever. People go through this kind of thing and emerge better than before.
Make sure you let your father, grandpa, and half-sister know that you love them. Let them know what you are feeling. They can help you.
You can do it.
