Depression is something that I feel like that always is going to live with me, and I know that at times in the past, dealing with depression was very hard and there were moments where I couldn't see the light and didn't think that I would come out okay. But I know that if I keep my faith in my god and my higher powers and if I just take the time that I need to focus my energy on my life and myself and take a step back and look at everything that's going on and kind of recenter myself in my life. I know that it helps when I go to meetings and when I sit in group therapies and talk about things and know that I'm not alone.
