In a nutshell it is all about self discipline and control. People seem to think that they can't control how they feel but it's simply not true. Being depressed or having anxiety is actually a choice.
Now I'm not saying that a traumatic event won't get you down but that is temporary as all things pass. What I am talking about is general depression or anxiety. If you feel it all or most of the time it is because you chose to.
That really sounds kinda harsh to say but it's true. I know you are saying well my brain has a chemical imbalance and I can't help it. Guess what, the brain can be rewired and you are the only one that can do it. It doesn't happen overnight and it starts with rejecting the bad feelings. If you are depressed don't act like you are just reject it and get involved in something productive.
The only people that are incapable of rewiring their brain are those with very low Iqs. They can't help it. If you have average or better intelligence then you can use your intellect to change and grow.
Always be in control of your emotions not the other way around.
You sound like my boyfriend. He's been through two tours in Iraq and has been through A LOT. He has never taken medication and he is one of the happiest people I know. He says the same thing and it's true.

And that is the truth ^
I have social anxiety and every time I go out I have to talk myself down out of a panic attack. But that does not hold me back. I am young, I'm healthy, I have the world by the balls and I am not going to let my stupid brain stop me from loving my life.
