Had lunch with a friend today, took the dogs for a walk, and - - most importantly - - found that I could work on my legal brief and actually focus and think straight for a couple of hours.

Today would have been my fourth day in a row of feeling like my depression had lifted. When I realized I could only focus on my work for 2 hours (pouring over medical documents for the brief), my head started spinning, I felt overwhelmed and anxious and then questioned whether my depression has really lifted.

How do I know when I'm "normal" (not hypo or depressed)? It's so confusing to me . . . Any thoughts on this one?
