how do you deal with depression

      I honestly do the opposite of what I used to do. To get healthy mindsets (not saying that cures it just makes it easier). It's hard but I just test the boundaries of my mindset. I go down rabbit holes and ask myself why til I figure out a root cause. If not I just let the feelings play themselves out and affirm myself it's temporary. I do many experiments and those levels of deep reflections help me figure out what are my thoughts and what are intrusive thoughts. It took a while for me to get here though so just trust the process. Healing isn't linear :) I still have depression but I can manage it knowing myself better and the versions of myself I lost I can affirm and love them.

        @sabbymer self awareness is something I admire. My husband can do that. I have been trying to figure it out, but it just leads me deeper into my depression.
