Depression Understood Forums

Is depression somthing I will have for the rest of my life? Has it always been here I just been younger and more equipped to handle? I don't want to fight this fight if it's only going to come back.

That depends on the cause, the treatment and the person. For me, there is no cure. Just learning how to live with it. Or despite it. But that doesn't mean I won't ever have a happy and fulfilling life. It just means I deal with things that happen from day to day in a different way.

i live so far into the moment that life is extremely temporary. i always think of the chance that i could give up.

but you also have to prepare for the best. you're gonna be here for a long time, so keep fighting. make changes, reach out to new people.

its not easy, i mean i made myself walk to the mall for a coffee, sake of the walk because i just sleep and lie down sulking sometimes, anddd it didnt help at all. it was a slight bit of release but that made it worse. shitty weather, and i realized i was making myself do it to try to change things, i really didnt want to get up and walk around.

but i took my friend to wing night and although we were quiet at first we found stuff to laugh at and talk about its a great distraction.
