I have a few questions about depression. It is something that I have struggled with for a lot of my life. I have good times and bad times. Something that people always ask me is, "What was it that made you feel better?" I honestly most of the time have no idea how to answer that question. I don't know what it is that pulls me out of the low times.

Recently I have had a very close friend reach out to me, who is experiencing the same feelings of depression that I have in my life. I have tried to sort through my thoughts and to figure out how I can help her based on how I helped myself or how others helped me, but I can't think of anything specific.

So I would like to ask the question, What have you done for others, or have had others do to you, that has made you feel like there is hope and that you can pull yourself out of it?
