This is a touching story... Its like a biography of depression and its harmfuk effects growing up....

See things as you may, i believe you came out alright. Having the boldness to talk about it, is already a healing process that has been initiated.
Its like when we say "facing our worst fears" is the only way to overcome the fears... And that is what you have done by speaking about it.... You have faced, you are facing your worst fears, and i see in you the boldness to overcome any residual effects of this depression...

Then a major solution to overcome depression is to look to a higher being, a divine solution to this evil cancer called depression that eats at the soul...
This divine solution is Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life, and if you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. I assure you, he will give you peace and replace that depression with Joy.
As it is written in the holy scriptures... "come unto me all ye that are heavy laden with burdens, and i will give you rest..."

Think on that for a bit...
