Good news for you about tapering off the seroquel and starting to write. I think the way you expressed your concerns seems like you have a great grasp on how you feel, and it wouldn't sound odd to express both the concern about being happy about being abandoned to both your p-doc and your T. You've been suffering for a long time, as your T has acknowledged, and surely the plan to get you on your feet couldn't be a short term plan? Seems worth asking what the plan is, and how long you can count on them to support you.
You asked how you know if you'll like happy? I don't know, I guess it's all relative. I'm "happy", and to my husband my happy would be depressed. He's very optimistic, and very rarely even the least bit down. His "down" to me might be my normal everyday mood, I don't know. We are both content in our lives. I guess you'll know what you like when you get there, and in the meantime I guess trying to stay in the present might help.
I'm glad things are looking up for you,
Jazzy
