I say a revelation of truth, because I have been in the past very depressed. It was mainly 'love' related, I guess in the end it was just chemicals in the brain. But I got hit hard.

A best friend who I knew for years, and my ex girlfriend. Ran off with each other. Cheated on me, that would've hit me hard anyways for someone you really cared about, but a double whammy of betrayal and especially on that scale of your best friend who you spent so many memories with? just treat you like shit and a complete selfish moron to you.

That what made me depressed, there was also family arguments which got over the top. I then developed a weird phobia of even talking to people, I didn't trust people for a good while. I didn't feel confident going out because I really don't know. It just was that way.

Maybe it was a mental illness. It just hit me hard. There was all that suicide thoughts and self harming blah blah.

That's all I have to say on depression, but that depression also made me mentally stronger. I have learned to cope better in situations and I am more confident. I guess some people survive and get stronger out of depression and some don't, and some don't live through it.
