Well, I've experienced a definite improvement in my mood since Monday. Going for three days in a row here. Based on how crappy I've felt over recent months, I'm really appreciative of feeling better. I think I'm coming close to feeling how the majority of the world feels.

I'm kind of resentful of my struggles with depression. I sort of feel like I've been cheated out of life. I feel like it's not fair that the majority of people don't need to struggle with major depression, but we who experience it do. It's so, so hard.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy feeling like this while it lasts. Hopefully it will last a long time!

Editing this a couple of hours later to say that I'm feeling a little bummed out/discouraged now. As a reminder, I am an attorney who doesn't want to practice law anymore and have been looking for a job as a paralegal or something for about six months with no luck. I was trying to get a job at a bank through a temp agency processing mortgage documents. The bank wanted someone with a finance, business or paralegal background. I thought I'd be a shoe-in. They passed on my resume. Just feeling defeated with this job search.
