During the many, many years before I entered treatment, it seemed as though my depressions would just drag on sometimes. But since I've been on meds, not so much. I actually just had my first depressive episode in like 2, almost 3, years. Today is like my first normal day back. This round lasted about a month or so with mostly physical symptoms accompanied by a blah, apathetic feeling, which eventually sank into a dark, empty feeling.

The last time I had a depression that was so short in duration, it seemed like my brain was just pulling me down far enough to slingshot me into mania -- which it did. It doesn't seem like that is going to happen this time though.
