Hi, I've been severely depressed since the middle of January. I think I was actually mildly/moderately depressed and anxious on and off for a lot of last year. Combination of growing up with a mother with chronic depression plus lots of big stuff happening last year - redundacy, DP severely depressed, youngest DC starting school and finally beginning Jan DD broke her leg v badly.
I've just read that major depression following long period of mild/moderate depression is harder to recover from completely, and relapses are more likely, and permanent memory damage is more common. So now I'm really trying not to freak out. I do feel this could be a long road, but this stuff is really worrying me.
Can anyone reassure me at all/give me some positive recovery stories? And yes I am going to really try and not google anything like this again Btw I'm on fluoxetine & trazodone and starting counselling...
Thank you x

made the mistake of googling recovery from major depression and now panicking - can you reassure me?
