Like Dinah said, when the depression goes, the posters don't post as much. But once in a while we come back.
Not that I am totally free from depression. I'm not. The major depression is in remission but I have the lingering dysthymia that fluctuates. Most of the time, I'm pretty good, but sometimes I have lousy days. And there are still ways that the dysthymia holds me back somewhat as I try to work toward my goals. But it is NOTHING like it used to be. NOTHING. I had severe recurrent, treatment resistant, double depression. I never thought it would get better. But somehow, it did. It took a long time. I lost important years of my life. But it did get better. And it continues to be a process I'm working on, but I am so much better than I was.
I hope my story helps you to keep the hope alive for yourself.
