I consider my depression to be “in remission” because I’ve gone about 3 years without a major/long-lasting dark time. But it has taken 2 decades of work to stack All The Things in a perfect combination to get me feeling generally stable. I still struggle hard with PMDD though, and all the placations in the world haven’t “fixed” that time each month. I tried to count up one time, and it takes roughly 17 *daily habits* to keep this machine “cured” -- that’s not cured, but I’m very lucky to be mostly well *managed.*
I’m on medication for my anxiety, this past week I’ve had such a hard time falling asleep because my brain won’t stop running around thinking about all the things that can happen.......but really won’t happen. It sucks and I just want a good nights sleep

Yes! I think this is something people don’t often understand. Just how much effort it takes to maintain.
