For the most part, I've been doing just fine over the last couple of months. So much so, that I'm starting to wonder about the process of termination with my T: how would I go about that, etc. I just worry because I wonder if this feeling of "normalcy" (whatever that means) will go away. The pessimist in me says that I'm bound to head back into depression sooner or later. I mean it's been two months, which is really no time at all considering that I seriously considered hospitalization back in May.

I see the "Depression Success Stories" on here, and I'm happy for them, truly. But how do you know that you're a success story? I suppose that depends on one's definition of that term. To me, success is when you don't think about dying every day, but maybe I'm thinking too narrowly.

So I was wondering: what is your idea of "success" in terms of keeping your depression and anxiety at bay?
