After nine years of major clinical depression, I've been depression-free for another nine. I do have periods now and then when I feel down, as though I may slip back. It's almost always because I haven't been taking care of myself, I'm stressed out, and I'm not tending to the needs of my spirit.
So, I take time to rest, to do some things I enjoy and haven't had time for in a while, and I spend time nourishing my spirit through Bible reading and reflection. It usually works.
