Hi phaset....Just a thought from someone who has suffered the ups and downs of depression for a very long time...and of course I understand that it's easier said than done
. Try to cherish every moment that you're feeling okay, or any variation of okay....in your words "not feeling like crap". Because the truth is if at any moment you're feeling better, at that moment you ARE better, and at that moment the demon is not winning. To quote a therapist from my past, "the demon is a trickster, and he does not care about you". If he has his way he WILL convince you that everything is bad, and that there is no hope....BUT THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH, no matter how much we may feel that way at times (sometimes, sadly, for prolonged times
). Truth is, no matter how hard it is to believe at times...."You are NOT your depression". Don't know if any of this may be relatable to you at all, but just my 2 cents
Take Care ~whimsy
