This is my first post in the depression thread(new or old). Funny thing, because i've been suffering from depression for years, and this is the first time, just recently, I could say i'm actually feeling happy. The secret, i've found, is identifying things that f*** you up, and removing them. It's really that simple. Well, alright, not really. But it's fairly simple. Focus on the now, don't worry about things outside of your control, try and make things inside your control as simple as possible, and have great friends.

That's my advice, from one depressee to another(s).
