> I know. Thankfully, I have vivid memories of times when I emerged from depression as the result of treatment. These periods of improvement have been very brief, but they have also been very dramatic to experience. Because of this, I knew how good it gets, and I was sure that depression was not it.I've had this too. But it set me up to expect to be able to function consistently at that "freshly emerged" level. And I haven't been able to do that. It's still fits and starts, and a bit unpredictable. The unpredictability is so frustrating. And those things that trigger a new emergence are getting harder to find.
