I'm dealing with a couple of medical issues at the moment, I recently had some blood tests done, and doing some research based on my results (My doctor hasn't talked to me about it), I found an article about how certain blood conditions are connected to depression. Really?  Add that to the growing reasons for the cause of my depression, along with the family history and other things.

Then a thought crossed my mind, *what would life be for me if I didn't have depression?* I couldn't picture it, then another thought. If by magic your depression is 'cured' and it will never return, do you want to be 'cured?'

I've been in therapy and taken medications for a very long time, I have my good and bad days, I've had days that I would consider the worst of my life, and some from the best of my life. I can say yes and not have to worry about my mental health forever. But if offered I actually would say no, I can't explain why, it may be because having depression for so long, this, to me is normal. 

Anybody else feels this way?
