Hi all, first post here.

My question is: what's going on?

I've been in a slump for the past 4 years, and just yesterday I managed to get help. I have a counselling booked for in a few weeks time, and I have also been prescribed antidepressants. 

Now, I haven't actually taken any measures yet. No pills, no sessions - but I feel better.

What is going on? Is this normal, or am I faking my depression? Is that that possible?

Many thanks!
