Indeed, willpower doesn't necessarily need to be strong at first, but ideally it would be relatively strong to your current situation. But yes, gradual is perhaps the better path so that you don't perceive it as a total failure even when it probably isn't.

"Damage" is a bit vague. Damage to your perceived surroundings will mostly be social, but besides, the social damage is already there by being depressed in the first place, and people can be a lot more forgiving than you think. The internal damage can/will heal though, like tearing one's muscles during exercise it should naturally be ameliorated with time and add to one's repository of good knowledge if the experience isn't completely taken in a bad light.
