Glad to hear you are managing your depression well at the moment.

You are right it is hard work living with depression, doing all the right things but still getting laid low or developing a new dimension like anxiety.

Most of the time I'm pretty good at helping myself, but this episode I've been so hopeless and helpless, I don't know where that came from, it was like going back 30 years and knowing nothing about my illness or how it would affect me.

A change that has come over me recently is that I am actually getting into therapy, normally I hate therapy. I think having to fight for good treatment made me realise I can't do it alone.
