Is It OK That I’m Good, But Not Too Good?

Is it OK that I am just good? I am struggling with depression and am trying to control the one things I can, my attitude towards events.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely thankful to be mentally where I am.And I am thankful for all the support I have been given, and the tools I have learned.

The prozac is working, I see my old self, not depressed

It was totally unexpected.I guess I had secretly hoped it would happen but was very guarded in my expectations.
