After almost two years of severe depression-- by far the longest and darkest that I have ever experienced-- I have finally found "the" medicine (for me, Serzone), and am feeling better. This is wonderful and such a relief, but it's also incredibly weird. I also have a lot of messes to clean up.
How have you all dealt with the aftermath of something like this? How do you make sense of it mentally and emotionally? And how do you solve the practical issues (ruined credit, very few friends)?
I'm working and have moved back to the city where I went to college, where I have a few friends and acquaintances. But when I run into people I know, they're like "What have you been up to since we graduated?" and I never know what to say. "I've been laying in bed moping for the past two years, while you've been in law school/the Peace Corps/getting married/publishing your first novel."
I would appreciate any input you guys have.
Thanks,
Jannette
