That's exactly what my therapist told me once, Alffe. When I went into a deep funk unexpectedly. She said to just remember, it's okay because it will go away. Just ride it out.

She was right. But it's hard. ESpecially those really deep, 'sobbing' depressions where you are mourning and the pain is excruciating in your heart. Those are the difficult ones to get through.

But when I'm hit with a round of 'regular' depression, I remind myself it will work itself out again.

Once you've been in that really horrible place, it's almost as if you're scared for it to happen again.

Kinda like an 'emergency room' migraine...when it lets up, you walk around on eggshells for fear it will return.

Hugs.
