Hi Racer
I, too, was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad to hear that things are going pretty well.
I can't say that I've ever really gotten over depression, however I would echo what some others are saying about meds. Also, what's been remarkable to me, is how much I have ignored symptoms of depression onsets, even though I should be more attuned to them certainly than the general public. I think there's this huge denial and a tendency to think that my depressive feelings are caused by some screw up on my part and not simply indicative of being depressed. In retrospect, one thing that hurt me was not getting help quickly enough. I think the longer you go sometimes the deeper you fall and the harder it is to pick yourself back up.
