You are doing so much! I am in awe. I can relate to your experience on so many levels. I have a few thoughts. It may just take a while for the good feelings to kick in. Or maybe you are doing too much. Do you need quiet or down time? I need to be alone even when I am in a good place. Would you like to spend a few hours reading, getting a massage, taking a long bath or doing something that just feels good? Also, are you getting enough sleep?

Your brother may just be scared and wants the old you back ASAP. He may also just not get depression. Most people don't I'm afraid and they say things that are not at all helpful.

Hang in there and let us know how you feel tomorrow.
