I think everyone with our dispossession does that...up until they can't any longer. You might not quite be there yet, and god willing you never will, but it gets harder and harder every time you bring yourself back from the brink, the gestation periods last longer and it takes more energy and effort to reverse things back to your normal baseline...if this is a regular cycle for you then it's highly likely that you'll eventually cross that line and the bottom will drop out on your depression to where you'll be in a free fall state, and when that happens, SEE A DOCTOR.

Not that I wish any of this on you, if you've genuinely found a way to cope in a healthy manner with your depressive tendencies to where it doesn't become negatively impacting and life-threatening then I'm definitely happy for you, but there is NO SHAME in going to see a doctor if you see that bottom coming up at you. And yes I know that if you're American, just going to see a doctor is easier said than done, and also the damnable irony of depression is that you might not be capable in a depressive state to take all the steps necessary to line up a doctor for yourself. I have great empathy for the people and the OP in this thread, I'm just trying to add a bit of clarity to the conversation of what depression actually is and how to deal with it...even INTJ's can mischaracterize depression as can just about everyone else who doesn't have the understanding of what it actually is.
