Well, life goes on. No one wants to hear that you're depressed again. So, you put as best a happy face as you can and you go to work or shopping or visiting relatives or whatever. It's survival instinct. You may be depressed but you still have to work to have funds to eat and see your T.

Some T's have recommended that, when depressed, I "pretend as if." For instance, pretend that everything is all right. Some T's believe that pretending like this eventually makes it so. Frankly, it has never worked for me!
