Depression was my weakness. It consumed me and left me vulnerable. But I have overcome it by faith and willpower. Remember, anything is possible.

The impact was destructive. Living with depression is not easy itself. I also used to be suicidal and spent some time in the psychiatric hospital. But we all have to hold on and dont give up.

Depression has had a drastic impact on my life. But, being on here makes it much more easier to cope with the depression because I'm helping other people that are in the same shoes as I am.

It's still having an impact on my life. Some days of course, it's harder than other days. I had to put school on a hold. Have trouble containing relationships. Everyone is telling me how things get better. But as others may know. When you're depressed, you don't believe that. You think "for some people maybe, but not for me". Some days are, indeed, better then others. But, it's tiring, cause you never know when the bad day is comming and in my case, I'm just waiting for it. Anyway. It's still having an impact and I think it'll keep having an impact.

Depression has ruled much of my life. I withdrew from everything, stopped talking to my friends and family, and became self-destructive. I was too stubborn, too tired, and too depressed to let therapy work for me. It was like everything that made me up was drained and replaced with cement. I struggled with self-harm and was in and out of hospitals due to attempts made on my life. Fortunately, I survived each attempt and am here to share my story. I still struggle with depression and all of the other things that come with it, but I've gotten to the point where I try to accept help and support, so it's a little easier. And it gets a little easier every day.

Depression spiralled my life out of control, every sense of control I had was slowly slipping out of my grasp. I would not talk to anyone and that had a compounding effect as people wouldn't be aware of what was happening, less chance for help. My chest would physically hurt and tears would roll down my face.
