Hi Lexy,
I empathize with your concerns about knowing when happiness arrives for you. I'm on week 3 1/2 and I sensed an upswing in my "average" mood on about day 5 of the first week. I was amazed because it really helped me realize what depression is all about. I think I've been "toughing it out" for years with a big job and lots of stress and a growing level of anxiety, declining physical health and a more and more troubled personal life. Over the last 5 years I've gradually decended into what I see now as a clear state of depression. Since beginning the Lexapro, I've had some of the same concerns you've had as my variance in moods has gone from A to M, or so. Since the start of week 2, I've been consistently better and have accepted the fact that I should not want or expect my moods to flow from A to C. M's and worse are going to happen because life will make them happen. Bottom line, you've got a great approach and I am thankful that you sent the last post. It's helped me and a lot of others. Thanks, Nemo2
