“On another note I’m not sure I agree with you that depression is a choice.”
Perhaps your right. Maybe I am one of the lucky ones. It was definitely a choice in my case. I believe life is a series of choices. I believe these choices define who we are. Graham Brown said,
“Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we’re proud of. Some will haunt us forever. The message: we are what we chose to be.” I couldn’t stand the person I became. I wanted to be better than I was. I needed to be happier. I believe the most important thing is to love and accept yourself. We’re great at blaming others for our problems. Take another look and I think if we are honest with ourselves we will see we are to blame for our problems. People go to the doctor and get antidepressants, that’s a choice and they don’t cure. People could make other choices that do cure or at least cause remission. Many people refuse to think of how good they are and how valuable they are. You can’t always depend on others to make you feel good. We need to endure and persevere and enjoy life.
I have been severely criticized here for my beliefs and may be again. I look forward to reading others perspectives.

Hello, I agree with you on that...Depression is NOT A CHOICE.
And it can be controlled after withdrawal with adequate amounts of CBD.
I myself use 2400 mg a month. It keeps my anxiety at bay and helps with residual depression.
