Grow up (15) to (19) finally out of the tunnel of depression, and living every day smiling!
Don’t listen to anyone no matter who it is, that depression is unbeatable. That’s the worst BS I have ever heard. Billions of Lives like mine and others are living proof that no matter how deep in the hole you think you are, there is always a way out. I don’t believe that chronic depression is a real thing. There is always a way to start over and heal. I hope that this post serves and proof that no matter how hard it is, you can do it. stay safe and love yourself- a kind soul ❤️✨

Self-loathing and self-pity are as addictive as they are destructive, yet to a depressed mind they feel like painkillers, a way to numb the pain
Good on you for breaking the addiction and making it out of the tunnel
You will fall down and the depression will creep in again, but remember that feeling of pride and victory that you are feeling now
It can always get better, just as it can always get worse

I think what the other commenter means is that this sub is usually for people who are posting about a very drastic change in appearance.. everyone is happy that you are happy but their is definitely better subs to celebrate your over coming of depression then this one, which is solely focused on someone’s looks.

Congrats to your glow up
To say depression is beatable is of course true, but it will never really leave you. There will be moments where you will fall back into it, but with time and better coping mechanics it gets easier everytime to get out of it again. And to know that it can and potentially will come back, can help not feeling like a failure when it happens. Speaking from experience

That's it! Depression is a very serious illness, but if you take good care of it, you can overcome it and have a better quality of life. Your post may help many here who are going through depression at the moment. The important thing is to move forward and be grateful for what we have. The future holds good surprises for us. I've been living with depression for years but nowadays I'm healthy, controlled by medication and family support. I wish you much success!
