[Text] As an individual close to eliminating their depression for good... I've discovered...

"Scroll to bottom for a TLDR;"Depression is shocked when remnants of YOUR past, no longer effect the decisions that YOU make in YOUR future.Depression is injured when YOU gain small moments of happiness, peace, or serenity.. in a storm of discouragement, hate, and pain.Depression becomes frightened when YOU find YOUR voice, and YOU speak out against it - YOU identify it's roots - and YOU start to fight it.Depression is cornered when the small amounts of happiness, peace, and serenity that YOU do find - become more powerful than the moments of discouragement, hate, and pain YOU battle.And finally..When YOU accept and discover that happiness only comes when YOU let it...That peace only comes when YOU let it..And serenity only comes.. When YOU let it.YOU can defeat, kill, and bury your depression.It all starts with...You.TLDR; Depression is defeated when the small moments of happiness that you find throughout your day, can overpower the thought of how little you have those moments. Soon. Moments of happiness will be stretches of happiness. And soon. A day of happiness. And soon. A life. Of happiness. It all starts with you.Source: My own personal experiences on this good green earth
