When you&rsquo;re depressed, your instinct is to isolate yourself, to withdraw from everything and everyone. But I started following creators like Faith who weren&rsquo;t afraid to share their real lives, their struggles, and their growth. Watching them be so vulnerable and authentic online made me feel less alone. It sounds simple, but knowing that other people were going through similar stuff and still pushing forward? That changed something in me.</p>
