Thanks, desperado and snowflake, for sharing your experiences. I guess maybe I was a little naive to think the depression was gone for good. But it had been almost 4 months and I felt so great! Desperado, "crash" is exactly the right word for what I felt.

is there anything in your life that's different that you can put your finger on? If yes, then maybe that's linked to the onset of the depression.

Yep, there sure is, and I need to confront and handle this problem in my life. I can't not deal with it any longer. Maybe avoiding the problem helps me not be depressed, but I need to deal with this. But being depressed makes dealing with the problem harder. Sigh. I'm seeing my therapist next week for help.
