Ahhh finally, hello Josh. It sounds like you have managed to get your life back on track with the right medical support in place. Depression isn’t just a state of mind, it is a chemical imbalance and the “negative mindset” is a symptom of the illness. Yes I agree that taking positive steps on the road to recovery have to come from the individual but you also have to have the right support to take those steps. People here are all in different situations and at different stages of recovery. For some it is a lifetime condition which is managed by medication. We all need to be mindful of this. Treatment for the illness is not a one size fits all solution and needs to be tailored to the individual. Telling someone to just be positive and you’ll be fixed isn’t helpful. It’s a bit like telling someone with a broken leg to ignore pain and walk it off.
