I think that a depressed mood can pass, but I wouldn't take this as a sign that your depression is gone. I have always hoped that the depression would never return, but that made it harder to handle it when it did. Now I am trying to learn to accept the changes in mood, and not to get so freaked out when it is a depressed mood that comes my way. Easier said than done, obviously, but I am trying. Something like moving away can certainly distract you for a while, but get support, cuz it will probably be stressful, and you seem to plunge into anguish quickly. Don't give up on mental health profesionals just cuz of one that wasn't right for you. Take care.
