My depression is genetic

I found out my depression is genetic and I'll have to take my medication forever.
I felt better and was talking to the doctor about the possibility of coming off medication and he told me that my depression would come back.

I realized he's right and even with medication i still have sad moments. I'm having one today. Not from what he said because that was weeks ago, but sometimes I get sad and that's okay. I'll feel better tomorrow.

With triggers, I try to ignore them because eventually I'll feel better. I do know to not harm myself ever again, but sometimes I feel like dying.

It sounds like you've accepted your diagnosis and are taking care of you. I don't know the origin of mine because I'm adopted. I'm glad you don't think of harming yourself even when you feel like dying. Best wishes.

what do you get sad about..i was told my depression was genetic...but i found out that i had other problems also...

I'll get sad if I am reminded by past sad events.
My boyfriend told me earlier I've been doing well with my depression in general lately and he loves me being happy.
