Hi. I'm back from a long stint off psych Central also. I know the horrible feeling of dropping back into depression and being scared it will be as bad or worse than the last time. One thing I have learnt is to not jump to the conclusion that it's going to get worse cos sometimes it's just a little dip. But to put things in place in case it's serious.

I have some friends who have heard the same crap from me so many times when I've been depressed. Good friends are like that. But venting here is a good alternative
