By this do you mean they're saying you "shouldn't" be pessimistic and sensitive?

Speaking on the basis of the raw statistics I've seen, you have at least a good chance of overcoming the worst of your depression and preventing it from taking over your life. Being in therapy and on meds significantly increases your odds of victory in the long run.

I don't know how you can fight your depression. Everyone's story is unique. You are already doing much against the illness. Perhaps the only thing I can offer, based on my own experience, is to be cautious about understating the seriousness of your distress to your caretakers out of a misplaced desire to "please them with progress."

All the best to you! Keep posting.
