For those who have overcome depression?!
Question:
For those who have overcome depression?
How did you do it? Did you use medication, or therapy? What helped the most for you? How long did it take you? And how are you now? Do you still have reoccurring episodes from time to time, or are they completly nonexistant now (other than normal feelings of sadness from time to time, of course)? What was the defining moment when you knew for sure that you were cured? Thank you. :)
Answers:
Medication for me. I am actually well-adjusted, my brain just gets screwy sometimes.
I know when I'm past it by how I feel. It's almost like a "Hey I remember what this used to feel like"
Mine is recurring and probably will be all my life because it is chemical. I could stay on meds indefinately but I choose to go off them then back on when I need to. I have had to change meds each time because the old ones don't work.
