For me, accepting the depressive disorder as something to grapple with indefinitely is tied closely with avoiding blaming myself for having depression. I know they don't necessary have to be paired, but because I used to hope so fervently that each episode was the last, I would blame myself and feel like a failure when the next episode came around.
