as I said earlier ... there is only one "cure" ... all other paths though helpful are not a cure ... a cure means it is over ... depression is a condition .... not a broke bone ... it is like diabetes ... it must be treated ... and it can be sucessfully managed ... and it has no cure outside of death ...

" ... It does hurt to come to the end of a long journey (2.5 years)..." ... management ... not cured ...

and I truly hope you have many many more years .... and you find the peace and happiness you crave ... write a good story ... let the world know ... here is a good title ... "Living Joyfully in a world of sorrows" ...
