The survivors thread

I want to add that when I think about what it takes for me to get through, I realize I am much stronger than I know. The depression doesn't want you to know that. The depression wants you to crumble. I have to make a conscious decision to laugh in its face and say "Oh yeah? Watch me." This attitude is prevalent in me when it comes to things like someone telling me I can't do something. My natural competetiveness makes me say "I KNOW you didn't just say I can't do something" and applying that attitude to the insidious voice in my head is another way I find a way out.
