I have battled depression my entire life but in the year I've been with Steemit, I must admit that I haven't been debilitated by it! I cope by being open, helping others, and just using this place as a creative outlet. Steemit has also helped me get out of a couple of binds and paid for a few necessary things. It has helped me immensely and I will always love Steemit for the community and support.
