I've been depressed for a few years now, after going through a rancorous divorce and learning about my ex husband's level of deceit and betrayal.

While I feel a bit better these days, I'm just not content like I used to be. I'm extremely lonely and dealing with a lot of financial pressure because of this divorce. (Our house hasn't sold, my ex refused to help out with fixing it up or selling it, and he's bailed on child support and he's now being held in contempt of court for refusal to pay.)

I'm glad not to have to be living with him, my life is much more peaceful. But, I guess I'm tired of this depression. I try, I really do... did meds and counesleing. No long on meds, but still doing counseling.

I think I'm just tired of this. Does anyone ever truly get "cured" of depression? I still have some "triggers" that will send me into tears. One was I came across a picture of my ex that his gal pal had the aduacity to send me. I was cleaning some old files off of the computer and found it. I can't bring out the Christmas stuff because there's too many shared memories there, so I won't do it. I'm boycotting Christmas this year, and that seems to help so that I don't go into really heavy crying episodes.

Really... anyone out there who's licked this?
