I love to hear that someone has "gotten out of depression". That is a very big accomplishment. I've been depressed many times and it seems to come and go whenever I think too much about something that upsets me. It could be your job or your relationships. It may be something important to you and you only. Whatever it is, seems to turn from an emotional state of being to a physical state of being that can become so overwhelming you may think you are dying or want to die. Yet, if you say you are doing better,that's great news! That means it is not permanent and if you can do it so can I. Thank God for the calm after the storm and for those who can talk about it. You should consider writing down all of the things that caused you to become depressed and how you survived so that way if you feel this way again you can reflect back and know there is a way out. Praying usually helps me.
