(((((Alaskan))))) You are so positive most of the time in the threads you post. You are inspiring. It's so obvious you are trying so hard to do all you can to take care of your depression - to fight it.
If fighting it is working for you and helping you get better, keep doing it. I fight, fight, fight mine but I also learned, for me, that sometimes I need to simply accept that this day, this hour.... whatever, I am in depression and that's "okay." I acknowledge that I am doing the best I can and then allow myself to feel the way I feel and act accordingly.... cry, stay in bed, do nothing, treat myself, what ever I need on a really bad day.
I admit I do spend many days being "selfish" (and working on the guilt from that) because I feel so down so often. But I have found that this is one of the more effective ways for me to deal with my depression.
