I too wish I could just reach through this reply button, grasp your depression and shatter it in cyberspace. Short of that, I wish you a short, shallow episode.

By the way, have you documented your more pronounced depressive episodes? Can you tell on average how long they last? No pressure to share that information; I ask because sometimes it can be at least somewhat reassuring to enter a dark time with some statistical idea of how long you'll probably have to endure it.

Best wishes for a fulfilling and restful break!
