Yeah, I was definitely lucky to have recovered from my depression. Or looking back, I may not have exactly recovered, but transitioned to a less totalizing, debilitating phase. But I was lucky for a bunch of other reasons too. Some were manufactured, other the result of privilege and chance. Incidentally, one of the things that helped me climb out of my depression was meeting a couple new friends who were very accepting of me. That happened at an event that I was at through one of the few activities I had chosen for myself to be involved in in high school. So it's actually a good example of opening myself up to the chance of a lucky event working out. I really feel for folks who have had a worse experience of depression than me and I'm happy to hear you have experienced improvement of the worst of your depression.
