This article is very insightful! Thank you for sharing this story, as this takes a lot of courage to share vulnerabilities. As an INFP-T, I felt emotional with what's happening to my life lately. I'm not sure if it's a depression, anxiety or mood swings but definitely it's not a good feeling when flaking on plans and for being afraid of checking messages. I even deactivated my social media accounts and was scared of everything in between. Right now, I guess I've been healing myself as well and I hope that everyone who experienced something like this, may you find the right coping mechanisms to beat what you've been feeling. The proactive tracking system and the cheat codes do wonders! :)

Awesome article! Since you never had depression before and you "beat it" within a year.. I wonder if you were an asymptomatic carrier of SARS-CoV-2, which can cause depression and anxiety. Food for thought! But this is a GREAT resource for folks who do suffer depression on a regular basis
