I struggle with depression but I try to handle it and not let it overcome me mentally. It’s not easy to deal with but it is what it is. I am sure many others suffer from depression as well. I know I’m not the only one.
Hey there, I just want to tell ya what helps me fight it. But before i tell you i better tell you that i am not calling you self centered or anything bad because that would just add depression to depression. lol
Just every time i get real down and depressed Ive been trying to think of things i can do for my kids or for my sister or even for the dude that helped me with fencing. It doesnt help to just think about doing things for people but it really helps when you actually get up and do it. Maybe cuz allot of my depression is when Im just sittin around.
But i dont know how it is for you. No 2 people are the same. I just hope youre ok. Cya

I agree with you that helping others makes you feel better. Thinking about ourselves all the time can cause depression. @KYLakeDiver
I have suffered in and off from a mild form of depression since I was 18. I only had a two year period when I went through a really tough time that I actually took medication for it. Otherwise I just force myself to cope. Energy healing has really worked wonders for it too

I’m happy you overcame it. Teen years are the toughest , I went through them as well. What exactly helps you control it? @Jenny1234
The best part is that you are not letting it overcome you mentally. Because, in my personal opinion, if once depression took over anyone mentally, it would lead to many disorders ; acute ones. Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, OCD, Psychotic disorder are some to mention.
Take good care of yourself.
