People Are Sharing What Finally Helped Them Overcome Depression, And They’re Life-Changing

8.

“I will always remember my own first moment of that beautiful twinge of long-lost happiness — found again after years of struggle. Even if just for a moment, it reminded me of who I am and who I can be. It made me want to keep cultivating my life in a way that produced more and more of that. Now, I feel I live there 75% to 90% of the time. I still have my down moments and struggles. And yes, thank goodness for therapy, friends, and all my small steps forward. But dang, I’m grateful to feel better most of the time. In the deepest of depression, I thought I’d never feel good again.

“Just here to say cheers to YOU! And for anyone reading: one step at a time. The moment you find yourself feeling good for even a minute in a healthy way, savor it. Accept yourself where you are, even when it feels bad again. You have the power to change your life, get help, learn new things, become more flexible and adaptable — and please, be kind to yourself.”
