It's great to hear from you. You're working, making plans, moving forward--all great.
Even the mood issues can improve measurably. I used to think I would never have a life without depression. Boy, was I wrong. Okay, sure, I have bad days, but nothing like I used to experience. You are going to have similar challenges, and sometimes they might be overwhelming. But over the long haul, you will get better at coping. I have confidence that you will persevere.
