Depression is definitely a horrible thing. I have, and sadly I'm going through depression right now. I lost one of my very close friends to suicide on Wednesday. I have overcome depression before, it's very hard in all honesty. Yet if you're in the right mind set of saying you don't want to feel like being depressed ever again usually you can break free, it all depends. But people think depression is being upset for a few days when it's not. Depression lasts a long time and you don't really and truly think of yourself, you think of others needs, most depressed people can hide their feelings extremely well. You can't just get rid of depression within a day, it's a long term goal.
How would I describe myself as a person? I honestly don't know. I get told that I'm very caring and I always help others. But I can't truly judge myself and describe how I am.
