    I have no idea. It was probably a combination of a change in mindset and different lifestyle choices. I started exercising more often, eating healthier (lost 10 kg), pushing depressing thoughts out, weeding out toxic people, and rekindling my interest in some of my hobbies by forcing me to do them. I know this is probably not helpful and it’s what’s generally recommended but it worked for me this time. It took a few months to get out of the slump. Or maybe whatever was bothering me worked itself out or I got over it. But who knows!

      I know that my depression goes into remission sometimes, so I never know if I pulled myself out of it or if it just… Stopped

        Yeah, I have good support from my family. They don’t get too involved, but I can count on them to listen. That’s definitely a factor I hadn’t considered.
