My depression is in full remission
according to my psychiatrist. I still have some depression symptoms but they can be regarded as PTSD symptoms in context (I have sleep issues, but mostly related to nightmares and anxiety mostly related to dissociation etc).
Feels good. Strange. I really never thought this would happen. I was a really, really bad case so any of you struggling should know it really can get better... I feel very lucky. My PTSD and dissociative disorder really suck but at least I'm not having intrusive thoughts of how to kill myself and am able to work and go to school and etc Trots, graveflower, enrique, scotty, shallowed... hell most of us on here have depression and/or something else going on. I believe in you dudes. It gets better. |
Happy for you!
|
it never does
|
Yay! Start of the summer for you too, so ride the wave while it's high and be happy. Life won't always be this easy so while it is... Enjoy it!!
|

Even though you still have all this stuff going on, it's really good that you're still taking a step forward like this and being positive about it
|
how's your remission going btw
|
It's going.
I have more tangible reasons to be depressed now, which feels better than having intangible reasons. |
I'm happy for you Erica : )
|
I'm waiting for something to happen, that most likely never will. As i lay here in the dark with my kindle, in the horrific grips of insomnia....lol .....i ....truly think...life is '...75% bullshit...and the rest is very very good.

Hope you start feeling better. Quote:
life is a lot of bullshit, I think the trick is not getting invested in the bullshit and just letting it roll past. maybe? |
That's great, wonderful to read.
I've been taking a small dose of a medicine for 2 months, and it's really helping me. I can sleep well and I think my depression is not my biggest problem right now. I don't know how much longer I will need the medicine, but it's good to know things tend to get better. |
Glad you're feeling better.
I'm going to be starting to lower meds again. It would be awesome to only be on one or two of them. Got a long way to go with that. |

Looking towards the summer now, where I'll be full time @ 9 credits. Another math, English 2 and Computer Literacy. Really doing well with work-school-therapy balance. Really hitting some heavy stuff now in therapy. :) How are things for you? How's your daughter? Job? |

She's doing really good! Dealing with a neighborhood bully, but we're getting through that. She's about to go see her gramma in South Dakota over spring break and I'll be here having some quiet time. :) I'm SO happy for you! |
That's good to hear, reprise! I hope it's sustainable.
You mentioning a job made me think of my first therapist when I was 20. She pretty much told me to get a job and I would stop having so much time to think and would be better. Once I got a job she decided her work was done. Of course this was stupid for the most part. These days I feel better by exercising and making positive plans for myself. |
thats a really dumb therapist. i mean, it always helps getting a job but..
