How to Deal With Depression?

i used to think that if i felt something negative, it meant i was a bad person because i was feeling this or that. And in reality, it's a lot more nuance than that,. cause there could be stuff from ten years ago that we don't even realize. Or, you know, for youd, the fact that that reminded you of your stepfather, and that caused you to shut down, that's a really nuanc mature way of dealing with what happened. That is, i'm not always great at it, though. I will say that my hotena sometimes gets depressed, and that reminds me of my father. When he gets low, i get really scared.
