What was the turning point for your depression?

Sincerely

What do you think was the turning point for you depression? Either what started it, or what caused it to end/lessen? I honestly believe I was born with symptoms of depression because my mom was so sad pregnant with me after my dad left her. It got worse in primary school. I've suffered with it off and on but I think it was when everyone turned their backs on me a few yrs ago that I stopped gaf. Idk if I'm becoming accustomed to it, or if I'm less depressed.

      @Sincerely Absolutely! People are awful, tough I do feel they're still worth the benefit of doubting such things... sometimes lol. With my anxiety I have the hardest time just going into stores and browsing

      I was born with it, too. I first entertained the idea of taking my own life as early back as kindergarten. As with you and Amanda mine is a series of ups and downs as well. I think it's almost ironic that my work has helped lessen my depression a bit. It felt surreal and very uplifting when I realized how much people like working with me

        @Doost working used to totally make me feel better. but within the past few years, being in public has become a nightmare. I hate being around people. They're so mean and dangerous these days.
