I was wondering if depression ever ends. Does this comepltely go away we are sudennly cured and can function normally? By normally I mean meanb we can wake up and look forward to each day, work, have relationships with people carry on a normal life. We do not have suicidal thoughts or any other crazy ideals of hurting ourselves in any way.

At different times in my life I thought I was truly over with depression. I thought I could function only to have it come back in with a vengence when I would end up in the hospital. Does it ever really end?

Right now life is good. I have no real issues. I am happy just being me for the first time in my life. I have a wonderful gf of three years now. Things are going great with us. But I could get a bad depressive episode like that for no apparent reason. Things could then sudenlly come crashing down and I will be back i nthe hospital.

I have been doing good No hospital fvisits for two years now. No sucidal thoughts or plans for suicidal thoughts. Like I said I havea wonderful gf who keeps me going. I love to read history books. I love the internet and I love to play chess. I have intersts and hobbies I look forward to doing these things ever day. This is what keeps me mentally sound plus meds


Thanks for this!
