This is great, sounds like you have a choice now how to deal with it. Whether to indulge the depression or fight it. It lasts a long time- I symphatize with you.
Its hard to pull yourself out of it and to try and control your thoughts surrounding it. I am glad that I went to therapy as this is one of the most valuable things I got from it that we can control our moods.
Depression can strike at anytime though and sometimes we don't have to fight to win.
I hope you feel better soon
