Depression has been my daily companion since late September of last year. Prior to that, I was not depressed, and was in fact doing very well. For me, depression is completely and wholly related to my occupation, or lack thereof (as is the case now)...But over the past 3 full years, I've spent more time depressed than not.

There are many that are not depressed, and I, like newgal, see many daily that are not depressed in the least. Knowing that they are out there, I keep hope alive.
