Thanks Myzen.

Anyway, I guess the answer would be different for everyone. The more I think about it, my depression set in after my negative self image developed. I've noticed something interesting that happens once in a while to me. When someone I meet gets the chance to know me, reaches out their hand in friendship, and attempts to boost my confidence, my mood and the way I feel about myself will be so much more positive. All it takes though is some thought of self doubt over this to enter my mind and I'll be feeling sad in no time at all.
