I have also suffered from depression, and still do from time to time. I think I would be a great idea to start meeting with a therapist. You deserve happiness

Well, I feel happy and free when I'm not depressed. I think you might be able to overcome your depression and see for yourself, I hope! ;)

I can see that you are depressed. I guess you should seek help from a professional counselor about what issue is bothering you. I am here to help so you can share with me your experiences

You feel as if a ray of sun is on you, always shining you and keeping you in the light and not in a bottomless pit of emptiness and darkness.

I think the key to knowing what it feels like to not be depressed is gathering the moments of joy rather it's laughing at something silly or holding onto the moments of happiness and either writing them down and actively recognizing that there are times you do feel happy...and holding onto those memories, it does feel good!

To not be depressed. When you come out of depression it's confusing at first. You don't really know what's happening. You have more motivation. You feel as though you could actually have a future. You feel like you are worth living, worth being a person, worth being here. It's crazy when you realize how dark depression really is. It feels like life is giving you a second chance after all that time trying to ruin you. That's what it's like to not be depressed.

You smile and laugh, enjoy and live by simply making an effort not to fall- keep yourself together because you feel so much happier that way. You just have to try hard and be yourself to get this beautiful feeling

I wish I could help you with this but I've been depressed since I was a small little lad so I wouldn't know.
