Hang in there! Sounds like you have a good plan to keep busy and enjoy life. I also have depression along with anxiety and I know how rough it can get.
Good to hear about the leaps and bounds, sounds like you have some good positive plans. Keep that smile on your face. Your naked body brightens my day. Your ass looks amazing in these, don't do any workouts to change it please.
Short of writing a book here, I'll just say that we now know depression is more about beliefs, attitudes and predictions about the future than any physiological defect or chemical problem. This is quite cutting edge so therapists are just beginning to hear about it. I can personally attest that the most severe depression can be made to eventually disappear as we learn about how our minds work and how billions of years of evolution have shaped our reactions to certain experiences and situations. It's very exciting stuff. 😍
