> Ever thought about it?

Didn't just think about it. Lived it. Still living it. :)

I'm not at 100% remission all the time, and I do have short term relapses, but nothing like the unending, unendurable depression I had for so many years. We're not talking fairy tales, and I still have a mood disorder. But it's controlled enough for me to have a life.

So what did I do with the mood disorder reined in? I thanked the psychiatrist who worked so hard with me for so long and never gave up hope or stopped believing in me. I moved to a new (and wonderful) city for a new job that I was fortunate enough to be blessed with. Started taking classes for fun. Ditched my old jalopy and got a more reliable car. Just generally tried to make up for lost time, even though I know I'll never get that lost time back.

I feel very sad indeed over what so many years of depression have cost me. But I don't feel particularly bitter.

BTW, the core of my magic brew ended up being Lamictal + Abilify.
