When I go from bad to worse and back "up" to bad... it's important for me to feel the relief while there and that I'm not in the deepest part right then... each time I can rise, that's progress... and accenting those times, remembering that I have them seems to help me when I am in the lower darknesses....

some parts of societal pressure? makes it like we should feel almost guilty for feeling better, since we are declaring we're depressed. Know what I mean?
