With me most times I feel like I'm in the moderate stage. Everything is OK but I have my ups and downs. And then suddenly I just start feeling the depression. That's when, during the moderate times when I can feel pretty good, then I would feel that great.

As far as being with people is concerned, it depends. I feel better when I with someone that I enjoy or who is very understanding. But I don't have much going in the line of friends. And nothing with family. With the people who talk about depression as they do on this board, I wish I could meet. And get together and talk. I don't meet anyone around where I am who suffers depression. Maybe they do but I wouldn't know about it.
