What made it better for you?

There isn't really any one thing, its been a combination of having a support network that understands, figuring out what I care about and working towards that, sharing with my brother, being grateful for the little things in life that I took for granted -- depression and feeling shitty, especially in current times is more common than you'd think. I don't really want to air my laundry in an open forum, but I'd be happy to chat more with you over email or a phone. Hell, if you're in the Bay Area we can even go grab a coffee, beer, or boba...
