That's my situation. In contrast, I have encountered people here and elsewhere who testify they have succeeded in overcoming depression by willpower, either alone or in combination with talk therapy and medications. That's wonderful. I'm glad they've succeeded. Unfortunately, their story is not my story.
CB, have you had a time in your life when depression played a more subdued role?

Hi, Sorry to respond so late. I'm not on my computer most of the time.
As for your question, when I think about it there were times where my
depression was way out of control. Then there are other times when
it's just under the surface even though I may not seem depressed.
I don't feel like I've ever been in control of my life. I " go with the flow "
so to speak. I don't know if I've been helpful to you in any way.
Like the saying goes " stick around , the miracle could be 5 min. away ! "
