But then again, you could spend around 45 years in a state of constant Depression, like me. Sure, there have been fleeting moments of light or enjoyment, but the searing pangs of guilt that I dared lift myself instantly wiped these out.

Take pleasure in the periods where your Depression abates, live those times to the fullest. Perhaps one day THAT will become your new Norm.
