I was also diagnosed in 2003. I've had a number of ups & downs since then. I have had a couple really good therapists who taught me a lot, and I used medication to get me through some really bad times. The depression seems to just be a chronic thing, something that's waiting for me around the next blind corner, and I have to constantly be on my guard to keep it from making me sick again. Often I just feel really tired, and I have to force myself to take a walk or do something active, because I know I won't stay well if I don't.

I was always told to pray for what u want and gave patience.

Whoa... I just realized it wasn't 2003 -- it was 1993! Oh my goodness.

Stay very busy and take one day at a time. Exercise, read, go to work (if you are working), etc. The goal is to have more good days than bad ones. I find all of these activities really helping me out.
