Good for you. I've worked hard to be open about my depression too, including at work where I want to normalize it and remove the shame people with mental illness suffer from.
I'm currently doing well, and have done for a few years, but I've been on anti-depressants for about six years now and don't believe that now is the time to try to come off them. Think I'll wait until I have my pain levels more under control. I'm a great believer in treating mental health in the same way we treat physical health.
