So ive been depressed fpr over 3 months without anyone to talk to. I was dying, shut off from the world without anyone to talk to. I found this site seeing if there was some way to help myself without having to talk to my parents.

I joined, and started talking on here about last thursday. I talked with some of you last night in the depression chat.

Now i feel better. is it possible for months of depression to get better almost instantly? i cant explain it. i woke up like i had a reason to. i was able to talk to people at school today. really talk. i didnt feel shut off at all. i felt happy.

its wierd, being happy again, and it makes my months of depression seem silly.

but im afraid. what if i was just on some wierd one-day high? what if i have built myself a tower of false hope that is doomed to come crashing down any moment?

so im happy. actually happy. but scared to death. the change was so sudden. i dont want to go back.

thanks to everyone who has responded to one of my posts, talked with me on a chat. you really are lifesavers.

but i do have a good reason to be afraid, right? i do have a good reason to have hope, right? i dont want to die again.

Well it depends on what kind of depression you have, if you had situational depression it may never return or at least wait a long time to come back. Major depression is a whole different story but since you were only depressed for three months I think that you have more reason to hope then to worry. However it may return but you have learned some new coping skills if it does and now you see that things can get better.
