This time last year I now recognise that I was seriously depressed. The word "depressed" is not empowering, so I choose not to use it often about myself.
I did the test at http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/testyourself/goldberg.asp yesterday to see the end result that I am now "Possibly depressed", and did it as I felt a year ago to find I was "seriously depressed" then bordering on the "OH MY GOD" level of depression.
With you all, some who lurk, some who mpost, I have beaten this thing. It takes active work still. I don;t get it right all the time. ButI have beaten it with (in my case) no medication, nothing except a militantly positive attitude Especially when I feel the most low.
Now this test is not accurate. It could be seen as bullshit. But it is an indicator. It indicates to me what others have told me. I have the potential to be happy. I am becoming happy.
Do not do the test and make a self diagnosis. If you take it, use it as a pointer only.

Visualise what it FEELS like to BE happy. Then throw yourself a lifeline from there back to where you are today. Tirvial? sure. But it helps.
i LOVE the word "WILL"

Depression is "JUST" a state of mind, which of course we can control - in theory. Sounds SO simple. Yet, it's a vicious circle, I think. You've managed to acheive it a bit through work and willpower - congratulations and keep it up! Thanks too for the test, it brightened my day a bit.

I am so proud of you. And happy for you too!!!
Might take the test myself sometime. A bit afraid of what i might find out.
