I've been doing pretty well the last several weeks, with very few symptoms of depression. My mood has been pretty good, and I'm getting my sense of hope back. This is even despite the fact that I have my final session with my fabulous therapist tomorrow. He's retiring from his practice... I went through quite a grief process with this, but I think I'm OK now. (I will be continuing therapy with someone new. And, I'll probably be on meds until the end of time.) I'm still a little tired, but I think I have some anemia issues that may be contributing to this. I've had some job interviews, and am excited about the possiblity of finding a job that doesn't actively make my depression worse. My boyfriend and I are going on vacation this week, and will be camping in a beautiful, remote place. I'm really excited about this trip.

As I've struggled with depression on and off for the last 8 years, I don't tend to use words like "cured" when describing my mental health... but today, I'm OK, and that is all I can really ask.

It always makes me smile when I read about someone whose depression has lifted or been put into remission.
