> I do. Feel sad. After going through med trials, doctors, holding steady for what seems like an eternity. I found an AD that seems to be working. I found it (here, of course), researched it, presented it, and despite everyone's (in my own life) reluctance (either it won't work or you'll make yourself sick), it is o.k.

Perhaps you are undergoing a saddening discovery process. With less depression, you are discovering with a clearer mind what you may have missed. Are you lamenting what is or what was?Depression suppresses and warps thoughts and perceptions. Not so much anymore. Things seem more real and perhaps more important.
The bottom line is that I probably don't know what I am talking about.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
