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.

(((((Pomegranate))))) I try to share what I have learned. I also have to share how I feel to learn what is going on with me and my own depression. For every question that I ask I have only one reason - I want to beat this illness. I keep sharing what I have learned so that maybe it will help someone with their own battles. This to me is our goal here at PC. I do want us all to win. And I have to say that I feel very comfortable here asking my questions. I have tried to ask these questions in the real world and people back away. So
thank you!!! to you and all on PC for your/their help and understanding. Hugs to everyone and may we some day live depression free.
