Oh yeah. I love those "did it before, you can do it again" phrases.
It's not like I remember doing it before when I'm feeling like this.....> You've shown you can live through the bad episodes.
>
> I hate those expressions. I think they should read:
>
> Things will get better, then they will get bad again, then they will get better, then they will get bad again, then they will get better, ad infinitum.
>
> You've shown that you can live through an agitated depression, so now you know you can live through the next fifty agitated depressions. Whoopee.
>
> I hate to sound pessimistic, but those thoughts don't fill me with great joy, or even cautious optimism.
