Do you think it’s possible for depression to just ‘go away’? All the triggers are still there but the depression isn’t?

Not real depression

like

This is just my experience but the situations never truly go away. It’s your response that determines whether it is depression. And there is a certain criteria that must be met for a diagnosis per the DSM-5.

Yes

Yes I think real depression can go away, but no I don’t think it can go away for no reason. I’m bipolar 1. It has landed me with the cops and in the hospital. It will not go away unless you keep working at your life. It is a slow process. Marathon not a sprint. Make no changes, expect no change. Keep going. Keep working at changing your life. Piece by piece.

Yeah, I go through periods of higher resiliency where my band of mood baselines (high and low) aren't so drastic. But it inevitably ends with something like a holiday or stubbing my toe to push me back over the edge and lose that clarity.

At the end of the day, happiness and sadness are just feelings and part of the human experience, its figuring out how to change so those moments aren't so gigantic. Depression doesn't discriminate which situational issues will jump start it.

I want to thank everyone in this bowl for getting me trough the nightmare that is PCOS related fertility issues. After 1.5 years of trying, two rounds of medicated IUI, accupuncture and every other homeopathic treatment available, a vanished twin…. Hubby and I welcomed our little girl on Friday at 37 weeks. She’s perfect. It was conversations in THIS bowl that gave me the hope and advice I needed to get here. So thank you, all of you- and to those that need it - hang in! There is hope.

We recently got the ok to schedule our orientation and delivery date for our IVF medications and all I have to say is ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF! My husband has dermatomyositis, and his doctor put off treatment so that we could do some collection and go through IVF. I felt like my dr was blowing off our timeline, but I persisted. I worked with CVS Caremark directly and got approval in 2 days (not the expected 3 weeks). Moral of the story: ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
