depression and anxiety recovery sub. The premise of the sub is what drew me to it: learning to cross that final bridge from subsistence to actually living and enjoying life.
I've dealt with depression for most of my life. At the moment I'm doing ok, better than I have been for a long time. Still, it is more that I manage my depression rather than having actually overcome it.
That's where a lot of info. on depression falls short. There is a plethora of info. on recognizing if you're depressed, anxious etc. and managing those symptoms. There seems to be far less info. on moving from coping and subsisting to actually thriving. Maybe part of the issue is the very human, unending quest for happiness. Even those who have not been burdened by depression have a difficult time finding happiness.
It only occurred to me recently that those who've overcome depression probably don't spend much time in forums about depression. Hence, why I thought it would be a good question to ask a broader audience.
So, for those who were able to overcome depression in a sustainable manner, how were you able to and what habits did you have to cultivate?
EDIT: Thank you so much everyone for all your incredible stories and words of wisdom! This turned out to be a very gratifying exchange. I'll be sure to link this post for our next Motivational Monday.
