I am also struggeling with depression and a lot of my family members also.

While mediation, cold showers, setting goals and a better diet helped me a lot and I can fight the depressions I think myself into there are days were I wake up and I am just in it and feel powerless to fight it.

One thing witch bothers me sometimes are comments from friends if you try to open up : "just dont feel sad anymore" "I was depressed once, but then I did xxx and all is good now"

The misunderstanding that depression is a chemical mismanagment in your brain is still very high, at least what I experinced.

Looking forward to this series
