Depression Situational Or Chemical
In the last few years I have gone through periods where I though I had finally climbed out of the hole and times where I truly believe the rest of my existence was going to be spent fighting to get to the light. Good periods and bad periods with no indicator which one is going to be next or the dreaded thought of "How long is it going to last this time?"
Through out all of the mood cycling I have searched to find the answer so that I can solve this problem that has taken part of my life away and there does not seem to be any logical answer. What I do know is when my life is swinging up the meds that pollute my body are doing what they are suppose to and when my world caves in chances are the only thing that will solve it is another med change.
Nothing has really changed since the mental breakdown that through my life into the wind. I have made some progress in a few areas that are more related to the Borderline Personality Disorder of my diagnosis then Depression or for that matter Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety. Same triggers that kicked my butt are still kicking my butt.
I have said for as long as I have had this blog and for many years before that medication makes therapy possible which is a statement that I believe to be true but at the same time the realization that all of the best therapy in the world is not going to leave me with a clean bill of mental health. Take care.

i agree that meds are what makes therapy possible and productive. i don't ever expect to be all better. my goal is to manage my illness as i don't believe there is a cure. that's the phrase i always use "managing my illness". just like other illnesses with no cures, we can only manage and reduce our symptoms. the only time i think it can be "curable" is if someone has situational depression.
