Do you really ever get over depression? Or is it something that follows you for the rest of your life?

Assuming no drugs, it'll always follow you, but you can train hard and tell it to fuck off when it tries its shit again.
The key here is to realize that depression isn't how you feel, and is just bullshit that your body is pulling on you. Work to discern depression from actual sadness.
Once you've gotten this, it's just a matter of training to DO SHIT and ignore depression when it hits. It goes away easier if you don't give in.
In my case, it’s more like cold sore outbreaks. Can last anything from 2wks to years, then goes and you think it might just be the last one, then for no fucking reason you’re isolating yourself again and fantasising about killing yourself. Still have to go to work, mind... still have to do all the boring, numbing everyday things because I’m an able-bodied white male, so no gibes, but you feel like utter death whilst doing it.
So yeah, fun. Fucking uwu
Solid vent. You *can* always get antideps. You probably should if you've had this for years without learning to beat it.
I’m still standing m8. Plus my mum is on anti-deps and I’ve heard some horror stories...
you went to app state?
I did. And I know what is it. Don't use antidepressants. Depression is a very important phase in the brain life. It's shut's down big areas, makes it inactive for significant period - 1-6 month. After that people usually can train new behavioral patterns and get success. After that people usually cry. It calls "winner cry" in my terms... The crying unblocks depressed areas, and dissolves strong connections in wrong working patterns... So, be strong. People was created to be able to pass through depression many times...
yes
Just came by to share some stuff to help with depression: the first is a series of fairly short affirmations and guided meditations: mediafire.com
Literally 20 minutes a day or so is all it takes (do it for a month or two).
the next one is the Mindful Way Through Depression (pdf also in there) which explains a lot of the brain science and cognitive stuff about rumination. It also includes some guided meditations which are useful to deal with things. I hope this helps some of you.

Get rid of depression, be happy - this is the worst possible mistake. People usually begin from meditation, but finally can't live without antidepressants.
