This is one of the best messages I've seen when it comes to depression, so thank you to whoever shared it!

I lucked out - even during my darkest, most unhappy days, I managed to keep my head above water and never fall into depression because I had witnessed it happening to some of my best friends and knew how awful it was and how hard they had to work to claw their way free of it. It scared the bejesus out of me when I was walking that edge, which was a huge part of what saved me from falling in the end (the amazing love and support of my family and friends is responsible for the rest).

To my friends who have struggled with depression in the past or who are still struggling with it today - you are, hands down, some of the strongest people I know. I hope you find your stick.
