First off, glad you are feeling so well!

Strategy for avoiding the lingering worry? Hmmm...What works pretty well for me is to really focus (bask, even) on the things I'm accomplishing that are good signs (getting things done, etc). They make me feel better about myself, which tends to keep the ball rolling in the good direction. Yeah, there is sometimes a lingering concern, but the more I do the above, it tends to crowd that out you might say. Also, I have a list of things that are personally big indicators of depression, and will only allow myself to become concerned if they are becoming sustained and piling up. Also, that there be a substantial drop accompanying this. Guess that means I often ignore mild depression, but it is so familiar, I can just accept it. Because most depressions don't reach the depths, it makes it easier to not worry so much. This is not to say that there hasn't been quite sudden precipitous and serious drops, but... it's kind of hard to describe... there is something... kind of like a certain feeling... that tends to accompany these, making them easier to recognize. (Does that make any sense?!) Mainly, enjoy it! (And sex life has been great? Admit away!That's great! )

I also check on my hidden meds, if it is any consolation. Not every day, but every few days. (And count them after picking up at pharmacy. And write down quantities. And how many are moved to other locations. Yeah...)

Also, agree with ladyjrnlist. Please ditch it.
