How did you overcome depression?

I’ve been depressed for almost a year now and it feels like I’ll never get back up on my feet again. I’ve been in therapy and seeing a psychiatrist, tried numerous medications, and still feel stuck in my depression. I know many people have been through what I’m going through and got past it, but how?

One thought on “How did you overcome depression?

  1. I forced myself to hang out with my friends. All I can say is that I got through it by that and writing about my feelings. I formalized all of my writings into stories, poetry, lyrics, I put them all in a folder and I took them to my english teacher and presented them to her.

    I think with depression, it’s also a moment of trying to grasp who we are. I think you might want to focus on discovering yourself through something you like. At times while I did this, I forgot I was taking those meds, and I forgot that I was depressed.
