I’ve been dealing with serious depression since I was about 17. I’m 27 now and really need to make strides to move on with my life and not allow my mental health to hold me in place like it does.

Those of you who were able to break the cycle of not doing much besides “surviving” day by day. What did you do to get the ball rolling?

I want to start a new job and maybe even go back to college but I’m having trouble starting. 

While it may not cure my depression, it would help relieve some stress I’m feeling.
