How did you overcome depression?

For me, external factors control it greatly. There’s a Youtuber called Rafeal Elliassen, you should check his videos out

I never really did. Especially not when I feel like it’s warranted. I just try to keep a positive outlook.

Well,

I can overcome moments of depression. Writing down my feelings, distracting myself with other activities.
Some days I just need to live it. I don't feel like doing anything. I try to be patient with myself and remember I'd feel ok later. Usually after a nap. Or handling the situation that depesses me.

But depression isn't something that just disappears. It comes and goes. And I have learned to live with it.

It was severe in my late-twenties and I'm quite lucky to still be here to talk about it. I've learned not to avoid things, not to hide, not to be dishonest with myself, and also that it's okay to find some things difficult.

I said to myself: "Today, I'm going to overcome depression". Lessons learned: if you put your mind to it, you can do it.

1. finding perpous and diving into it

2. Learning how to fail constructively

3. Expectation management

Still going through it.

So so true 🤗🤗
