This is the first time I've ever had clarity over my depression and it's affects on my husband and myself. The first time I have tried with this knowledge.

I want someone to tell me it's going to work. I am committed to moving forward and continute to seek help, exercise, communicate, reach out and cultivate friendships... But it is hard to read a lot of posts about how many times people have tried and failed. I know there are success stories too and that is encouraging. It's just that there's that little nagging deep inside me that wonders if this really is all going to work out.

thoughts? experience? advice?

thank you
yes it is going to work. I have been in recovery from a severe depression since early 2001. I take my medications, exercise regularly and have an active spiritual life. I believe God has a plan and he will give me the resources to deal with what comes along. I have had short bouts of anxiety and depression several times, but have always bounced back by increasing my exercise or re-dedicating myself to my spiritual practices.
Thanks for this!
