When You Let Depression get the best of you

What happens when you let depression get the best of you? That’s always a question floating around for some, especially when you’ve let it get the best of you before. Well, actually I shouldn’t say that. For most of us who have suffered from it before, we don’t really let it get the best of us. But it somehow gets us anyway. We suddenly find ourselves curled up in a ball in the dark crying uncontrollably at times and at other times just barely holding ourselves together, if you can call it that. So I guess the better question is, can you really beat depression or is it just a matter of time.
