I'm going on about a week now of feeling normal (although my childhood friend reminds me that I was never "normal"!), so a week of feeling non-depressed. I'm not feeling good or great, but when I told my doctor this he just laughed and me and said no one ever feels good all the time. I'd like to, however. But I'll take normal, because it's so much better than depressed. But now that I'm feeling better, I plan on adding methyl-folate to my cocktail. I'm curious to see what kind of difference it might make. I've been taking it for 2 days now.
I've got a lot of work left to do, considering the large amount of emotional baggage I acquired over the last 2 years. That, plus the work on my dissertation should keep me pretty busy.

Normal (aka stable) is good. It's what I call "surviving". It's was about 3 weeks into taking the methylfolate that my well being started going up and up and up until I felt HAPPY...TRULY HAPPY 99% of the time. I call this phase my "thriving" stage.
I hope it does the same thing for you. Give it some time.
And...good luck on the dissertation.
Now I'm reduced to "childhood friend?" I was one of your greatest influences during your formative years! (Sheesh! I hope the depression's not my fault.) Hahaha--I'm just kidding.
Good luck on your dissertation. Writing is hard work. This I know for a fact.
