I'll give you an upvote. Also I notice from your language that you refer to the depression as 'my' depression and 'my' issues. I would consider changing the way you refer to it as 'the' depression and 'the' issues in your internal dialogue and conversations with others. That way you are not taking ownership of the illness and it will be easier to release it in time. It takes some practice and persistence but I'm sure it will help. All the best.
