That's really awesome LittleEarthquakes, marvelous, I can definitely relate to having depression alleviate somewhat as well. But, wow, glad you're not depressed anymore! What a relief because, God, it can be a nightmare. And sorry about the loss of your pet too. That's quite saddening.

In 2016 I stopped taking meds because I thought they weren't doing much, hoping I could just push myself through the symptoms using various methods, but it turned out to be the worst year of my life. I learned what being suicidal was, what losing your mind was, so I after a year I went back on meds and slowly began to improve again. Wow.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations as well. Just wanted to say I could relate somewhat. Appreciated reading your post!
