In my case, I was moderately depressed for many years. It took being severely depressed for me to do something about it. My suggestion is don’t wait for that. If you think you may be depressed, you’re probably depressed. Make it a priority to address that. Life is difficult. We don’t need to be happy, but we need to be able to be content with what we have and where we are. I feel like directing our compassion and our focus outwards to others helps put our own troubles into perspective. But, we also need to care for ourselves.
