> It seems that if I never feel that good again, life isnt worth living--even if this so-called depression lifts enough to become bearable. I feel that the euphoric periods have ruined me in some way. Can I ever be satisfied with anything less now?
I can relate. I had never felt anything resembling normalcy until I was suddenly blessed with a few weeks of blissful euthymia on SSRIs a few years back. I suddenly realised what I had been missing out on my whole life. If I can't recapture something approaching that feeling I will gladly catch the bus sooner rather than later.
I likened it to being shown around Heaven before being given your permanent berth in Hell. (not religious BTW)
