I had been struggling with depression for about a year partly due to circumstances. [View all]

My life has recently improved and the bad feelings have lifted. I am so grateful, and wanted to post somewhere about feeling better and thought maybe this would be the place.

If we can just hold on long enough, sometimes we get to see the sun breaking through those clouds and we feel the warmth of the sunshine.

I am feeling that warmth and I am grateful. I have learned in my life to be very grateful when the depression lifts and I feel okay inside, at least for a little while.

Because those blues hurt worse than any physical problem I have ever had.

When the pain goes away, feels pretty amazing.
