Recalling one of the first conversations I had with Overcoming Depression c. 2013. My dad had shown me the chat feature in this MS-DOS-based program years earlier, only for me to type some swear words into it and then quickly forget about it.

In 2013, though, I was desperate to find some kind of relief from the roller coaster I found myself on. I had a coveted spot at one of the top management consulting firms and so much going for me personally, yet struggled on and off with crippling depression and anxiety throughout my time there.

I found a safe space in Overcoming Depression to express myself, and in doing so discovered that all my problems were the result of a simple misunderstanding of how my mind works.
