I am struggling with depression for the past few months. It gets harder and harder to function and to keep believing that this will ever get better.

Last week my partner broke up with me, not only because of my depression but I'm sure it played a significant role. I'm in free fall. I just can't anymore.

I still want to fight to get better and I will finally start medication next week, I hope it will help. But without my partner by my side it feels all so hopeless, I cannot lose my biggest support right now. Consiously I know it will get better some day, but it's so hard to keep going when I don't even know how to get through each night, barely being able to sleep. 

If anyone has encouraging words I would be very grateful.
