I gave up for 13 years after depression & anxiety hit. Many Sui close call tries. Think when my special doggie Leo was born, the Sui went away but the depression didn't. Not until I left the bad marriage I was in & moved 2100 miles away & bought my little farm in a town where I didn't know anyone did the depression go. Everyone said you can't run away from your troubles but depression did not follow me there. It was then I realized it had been situational depression that had been so disabling all those years. Still went to therapy & found the best T who helped me process everything I had gone through all my life that had exploded into the depression. Also I had gone through a trauma before I left & had some PTSD to deal with.

Obviously, depending on your situation, my life is proof there is a way back after giving up. Fully recovering took a lot of work on my part after I left. Definitely worth it because even with struggles & legal issues left over from the marriage, I have never felt happier or more at peace than I do now & I love my alone life on my little 10 acre farm.
