Yes, I agree that being vigilant, and recognizing the first signs and taking action etc. are important. And I am convinced that it is easier to keep yourself from getting depressed than it is to work out of a depression. And this is what I'm banking on - that I can forestall the inevitable long enough to have some kind of a life in between crashes.
But you said "know how to prevent a major crash". I don't know how to prevent a major crash. I know that my current therapist is more "powerful" in this regard than my previous therapist. But I guess I really don't expect him (or me) to be able to prevent a crash.
Maybe I just think that there is to much work to be done still before I'm "strong" enough, or "skilled" enough, or "unbroken" enough to prevent a crash.
