You eventually start to realise that Depressive episodes get fewer and far between. I'll have it for life being diagnosed with Chronic Depression a few years back. My last real big episode was the Xmas/New Year period of '03/04. Of course, daily life can always bring on an attack but you just have to stay true to yourself that you will get through it. If you explain to your friends and family (who I hope are very understanding) that this is how you feel and you'll feel better if you talk it out. I'm very lucky that I have a few very close friends I can say 'hey look, i'm feeling a little low at the moment so please excuse me if I don't come out to play today' etc. But you cannot use that as an excuse all the time. Depression is 90% mental state... you can overcome it. Once you start to view the world on a slightly different slant, so many things become clearer. At least, that's how i've managed to overcome a majority of it. Everybody has their bad days naturally but others have a clinical chemical imbalance that just makes it seem much worse. I'm probably telling you stuff you already know but it always helps to know that there are many people out there who feel the same way. Depression isn't such a taboo subject anymore... which I feel is a wonderful thing.
Anyways *hugs*..
