eggplantlife, I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better! Hopefully it's not bipolar or recurring depression (MDD). I wish I had some advice as to how to hold onto your feelings. I've been depressed for so long now (almost 10 months) that I can't imagine what it will be like when it lifts. As zinco said, I would imagine the best way to go about it would be slowly, to build your confidence up. Best wishes!
