At the end of the day, it's the need to be heard and understood that brings out a person from the darker side of depression. I've been through it once and therefore can say that when someone is there to listen to you and not just dismiss your weird conversations as melodrama, you feel valued and that's a big step up in your recovery.

^^That's exactly what it is. The fear of being judged and criticised that puts people down and force them to seek solitude.

For me, this is the best thread by you guys so far! Congratulations y'all!
Really well put and a very hourly topic indeed. So many people suffer from depression today and I'm disappointed when people use the word in passing language so easily. Those who haven't been through it need to know it is absolutely not understandable. You don't understand how it feels to literally suffocate every minute of our life, how it feels to lose all motivation to live. And how difficult it is to suffer alone.
Like beyondwords said above, a listening ear can be a huge step in your recovery. I had a very helpful online friend whom I had connected with. We were not very good friends by then but that's what gave me the courage to spill, the anonymity, and I'd known she'd give me right words, the right advice. She gave me life, for whatever short length of time, but I felt alive again and that's how my recovery began. I will forever be grateful to her.
Recovery does not mean there won't be relapses. There will be many but you will somehow always find the courage to go back and hold on to that one positive thing. But you can't recover alone. Period.

P.S.: The signs of depression and the inputs by CCs were the best parts for me. Also, great choice of quotes.

It would be dishonest of me to say that I suffered a full blown mental disorder. I did not. Naturally, I cannot understand people with clinical depression or other mood disorders. But being a naturally unhappy individual, there is a thing or two that I know about relapses.

I have come to understand that we're who we were in the beginning for our whole life. We don't change, we acquire wisdom and it does not change who we are, all it does is inform us that we have the strength we need to go on. Depression goes and then it just hits you in the face again. Professional help and correct personal guidance and friendships help. But what I know is that we've also got to be true to ourselves. So after I have allowed myself to be down there in the dirtiest dump possible, I rise and I do things. It could be running or reading or both, maybe a movie, some shopping, eating, cooking, a freaking massage. I don't know. I urge you to go and do things even when you don't feel like it. Because the one thing I have learned as I weaved in and out of the black hole that I carry inside of me is that sure, you need the right people, but also that you need the best possible you. I am all I have got ultimately, right?

I know I'll be sucked back in and then I'll come out and I'll not be sad all the time. The thing is that I have accepted who I am and before the society does, we've to accept that we're slightly off in our heads and that you know what? We're managing it like a boss!
