To people who "beat" their depression...

Or at least don't view ending one's existence as a reasonably viable option anymore, what is it that changed that? What gave you that genuine desire to live life with all the good and the bad?

As someone who's never had that desire, even as a child, I'm curious to see if others who were the same were actually able to find that desire eventually. Can someone who's never experienced such a thing even have it? It feels hard to believe. It's like trying to "fix" something that was never there to begin with.

Hi Miami, are you saying that you have never had the desire to live? If so I am so sorry and I applaud you making it this far, never give up! Often another day lived is a victory.

I am so much happier in life not trying to find worth in any accomplishment. I cannot add to or detract from my worth, and that is f****** freeing. I think I have recommended my book before, so I won't do that again. There is a path to peace for all of us, we just have to find it.☮️
