MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!

[Alex1989]

1. I am officially in remission! While I clinically still have depression, the intensity of the symptoms, such as sadness, loss of interest in activities, etc has substantially reduced. The doctor also said that I am at a lower suicide risk.

2. (Samuel L. Jackson mode on) I got my motherf**king meds back

3. I am now less concerned about my lack of romantic\sexual experience. To be honest it would be nice to be in a intimate moment with someone, its not as much a priority than my career (to those who do not know: I re-enlisted, 6 more years). so its not much of a big deal.

Yay! Way to go

I am so happy to hear that. The best part of having symptoms under control is having a baseline for "this is my version of a good place" and finally seeing that what came before was not only not good, it is also not permanent. To me, it felt like finally getting out of a fog bank. I had spent so much time in the fog that I did not remember what clear looked like until I got my symptoms under control. Then it was, "Hey! World looks a lot different now"
