> Yes, people do and can recover from depression. It is important that you keep this in mind. I had a serious depression at 16 lasting longer than yours from which I made a full recovery.

> Your normal personality and emotions will come back. Do you have either a weekly therapist or a support group that can give you support during the period of recovery? That could help.I'm now supossed to visit the crisis team at the local hospital every week. so i will tell them how i am doing. I'm actually supossed to go tomorrow.
I hope I get all my loving feelings back. My fiance has always meant everything to me. I'm being hopeful. I'll just have to be patient for probably a while.
