I had depression for 10 years before I got help. Only received the help because I tried killing myself and ended up in a mental hospital, but I’m doing much better now! Still wanna die, but not actively trying to and no longer have any of the many other symptoms that come along with depression.

I was recently Diagnosed with depression. I honestly figured that out because I tried calling a lifeline. Someone caught me on the website and then drama came. Luckily Im doing better now. But my depression still stays ;-;

Try to stay connected with friends or family as it has been shown to help. My thoughts are with you

I have also had depression for the majority of my adult life (I’m now the wrong side of 50). I’ve had some amazing therapy including EMDR and finally I feel as if I’m in recovery.
