For the past two weeks, I've been feeling a lot different than usual in terms of my depression and all.

I've been looking forward to things more, and I've been thinking of writing poetry again, like old times. I've also been taking care of myself more than usual (not a huge change, but it's an improvement, nevertheless).

In this past two weeks, I've felt low about 6 days, and the rest I've just felt "okay". It just feels so different. I don't know where it came from.

Could I be recovering on my own? Should I take this as a good sign?

Sounds like you're coming out of it. I would count it as a blessing and enjoy your good fortune. I have times like that as well, when it feels I am getting better and pulling out of my depression but I am bipolar so it comes and goes faster than I could keep up!

Enjoy yourself, and just be thankful it is a good sign! Kudos to you!

Sounds like a good sign to me Remember, one step at a time and before you know it you'll be right where you want to. Hope you keep on in the right direction

Hello Sadplant, I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. Don't rush things and if you have a bad day don't think that you are on the slippery slope. Keep doing what you are doing, taking care of yourself and the like. Best wishes to you.

Thanks, guys. Although my depression's improving, my social phobia (or whatever my issue is - i've not been diagnosed) is still strong as ever, and it's very frustrating.

I've not been doing anything different, I'm not on any medication for depression. But my parents did force me to start taking vitamin B12, and I think that's the cause of my improvement. Has anyone tried it? Has it helped? (When I say my parents 'forced' me, I mean, I used to have an eating disorder and vitamins/supplements are a huge trigger for me).

It feels very very strange, I'm not going to lie. It's not like I enjoyed my depression, of course I didn't. But I feel so different, like I'm always expecting something bad to happen and it doesn't and it's just weird...

I know its very hard but try to take on day at a time. Baby steps. You have terrible anxiety like me. What if.... I must try vitamin B12. Thanks Sadplant. Take care of yourself.

My son had to gt vitamin B12 shots because he has low levels of it. I feel so bad for him he is going through alot now, dealing with drinking alcohol, it's so hard for him to stay sober when there are so many bars on every street corner.
