On dealing with depression

“What caused the depression at a younger age was from a place of not being love. Thinking I was not loved and not seeing me being loved. Also from a place of knowing that I was struggling. I fell sick a lot then when I was younger. There was a certain time in my life that I struggled. I struggled in academics. People didn’t really know it then. I didn’t really have a lot of people to speak with. But why I came out of depression, till today, I didn’t speak a lot when I was younger. I think, probably prayers from, I know I have an aunt that really prays for me. My brother and my dad then maybe, I feel it just has to be God. Certain times when I was much younger I thought about just ending it, thought about quitting and let the life just end. I told you, one time I was checking for how to end it without feeling pain. What I saw online, there was still pain so I just backed off.”
