When you start to recover from depression, you may be discouraged by the times that it seems to be coming back. I recommend having a journal. Write in it every day, even just a few words or sentences. This will give you something to look back on when you are wondering if you are getting better. It will also give you a place to “vent” when you feel that your spouse, friend, or other relative has heard enough about your depression. Sometimes writing down your feelings will allow you to analyze them logically. You can also see how far you have come by looking back at older entries. So get a notebook, and start writing.
