    I’ve recently overcome my depression but now find myself feeling guilty for the thoughts and feelings I had during that time. Has anyone else suffered from this?

    Hey lishylish.

    I know what you are feeling. But in order for you to really overcome depression, please do not and never feel guilty about it. Depression is an illness, and being ill can make you feel guilty. Because you know you are not being yourself, you push people away, you might not excel at work (I have experienced all of the above). But just like someone who has cancer, your illness has to be treated. And luckily, you say you have overcome it – which is wonderful!
    Do not feel ashamed or guilty, because this will lead you into this vicious circle again.

    Enjoy your life and be content and thankful that you’ve overcome it!

    Hope I could help.

    Namaste
    Helen
