it's permanent. even if he holds her, tells her he loves her and will want to always be there for her, she will be in another world. the world where nothing is right in her life and nothing can fix that and the only way to make things better is to end her own life.
I will always have depression, in my mind It will Always be there, but you can overcome it. You can feel better and if you're lucky keep the depression away forever. Like I said in my Self Delete thread, depression is a mental disorder, it is in your brain and could be there since you wre born, it was predetermined from birth you would have depression. I would know from personal experience that there is a way to overcome depression, it just takes patience and wanting to get better.
dont pretend to know what you're talking about if you havent been there. If you have, then sorry, we obviously have had different experiences with depression.
