One more thought--I guess I used to think of it as "depressed" or "not depressed" in pretty much all or nothing terms. I tried to stay in the "not depressed" mode and push away the "depressed" mode as it crept up on me. This meant I would try so hard to deny it. Then, when I had already had so many episodes that it was hard to deny them, when I was in "not depressed" mode I would be anxious all the time about depression attacking me without notice, like a ferocious monster lurking around the corner.

Now I guess I have come to see it as something I won't ever truly 'get over' completely, but more like a chronic illness that has to be managed, but that I can really be in remission and do quite well. And a process that is ongoing.
