When should/could enough be enough?

When ones depression is frequently triggered and worsening as age keeps rising. Yet it comes from/through a damaged part of the brain, that can't be cured. Not some life issue, that can be worked through therapy and/or counseling. Why can't one say enough is enough and good bye forever?

You just gotta change your way of thinking. I know that's dumb af to say but that's what I did.

Will never be "cured" of depression but it doesn't need to always control you. I let it control me for along time and was on the way to the big goodbye forever

I dont think of the things I don't have, I try not to think of the things that depress me, I think of the things I do have, I don't compare myself to somebody who is "doing better" "is better" none of that because none of it matters. I think of things that make me laugh, I laugh as much as possible even if I am the only one. Hell I pretty much rewired my brain . And it made a big difference for me.

Idk if any of this will help but it helped me. There's no point in taking a shortcut to the destination we're all going to. Enjoy the journey, bad things will happen but so will good things. You need to just keep the mind positive which I know is a hard thing to do and up until about a year ago I wasnt able to at all.
