28 year old here, depressed since 14, nearly kms at 18 and then stayed suicidal till 26.

It do get better. I got a job, bought a house, got a gf, started practicing hobbies, socializing more and working on self discipline (But not self degradation)

Now instead of being consistently 2-3/10 I’m about 5.5/10. Still not a full blown optimist but I don’t want to die anymore.

It’s rude to down syndrome people to compare them to Trump.
