Hello, new comer here but just wanted to share a summary of being a survivor of this dreadful disease, basically my depression started as soon as I entered my teenage years, I’ve struggled through thousands of panic attacks and adhd along with that! I’ve contemplated suicide hundreds if not thousands of times. But I haven’t ended my life and never will, no matter what I go through. Until I die off naturally no amount of pain or struggle will make me end my life…it just won’t happen! Throughout this whole ordeal I’ve learned to Value my life through endless trauma and anything!..oh yea I meant any and everything😭 I still struggle with this btw. I just learned to not let it affect me and use the “it won’t last forever” strategy to any scenario I go through regardless of where it belongs, I’ve struggled with  many mental disorders but that won’t stop me from getting an education, building my planned-ahead businesses and future fam. If it means taking the easy route through this then be it. I just know I can and will only get stronger and wiser/richer from here. I’m curious to know how you guys deal with it, and any healthy coping mechanisms you use/used while struggling with this disease.
