The silence in my house has become deafening. It used to be filled with the sounds of my life,music, laughter with friends, the clatter of cooking. Now, it's just this heavy, suffocating quiet that mirrors what's inside me. The darkness started slowly, a shadow at the edges, but now it feels like it's swallowed everything whole.Getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. Facing the day, even just making a cup of tea, is an unbearable effort. I used to have dreams, ambitions, things that made me feel alive. Now, they feel like distant memories, mocking me with what I've lost.I know I need help. My doctor has suggested therapy, maybe even medication. But the waiting lists here in Greater Manchester are long, and private care is completely out of reach. Every day that passes feels like I'm sinking further, the weight on my chest growing heavier. My friends try to understand, but it's hard to explain this constant ache, this feeling of being trapped inside my own head.A donation, even a small one, could help me access the support I desperately need. It could mean the difference between continuing to spiral in this darkness and finding a lifeline, a path back to the person I used to be. It wouldn't just be money; it would be a chance at reclaiming my life, at finding some light in this overwhelming darkness. Please, help me find my way back.
