I’ve battled depression for years. I was very much a “victim” of it for years. Now I’ve changed that thinking and look at it much like having diabetes. If I do the things I should do, it is managable. If I do not, I get sick. Like a diabetic, even when I do the “right” things, I will still get sick sometimes. But that will pass and I’ll be better again. I take my meds, work on goals, find things to make me happy, etc- I do well. I sit at home and isolate- I feel poor. Like one of the other posters wrote, I try to move from being depressed (a label) to just feeling depressed (something that will pass). It’s no cure, but I’ve come a long way and I feel proud of that. yay me.
