In reply to what is remission?, posted by shadowmon on August 29, 2004, at 0:20:14

Contrary to what my doctor seems to be adamant on, I believe myself to be in remission. Its always hard to tell because I mean are you "really" better or is it just the meds masking the depression and what not ... but to me it sort of feels like my "psychological resources" bank account has finally gone back into the black rather than constantly being "in the red" ... like when you always feel close to the pit and that even a small thing could push you over. I also find myself feeling more like "before" ... that is the closest time to now that I can remember being happy ... and the goal being to go back to a similar state of mind and level of functionning.

But then again, this is just a sort of bet ... for yet another few months ... I've taken away the Effexor but I'm still taking the second AD so I can't yet tell what I will be like when I'm really on my own without the chemical support ... so it remains a gamble.
