For some strange reason, today I'm not feeling depressed. I'm not feeling happy either, but I feel relatively at peace.

Now if I were clinically depressed (as in "you need to be on prozac for the next five months") I couldn't possibly be feeling this way, or could I?

I am relatively at peace most of the time. Not happy, not unhappy, just coasting and quite comfortable that way. Occasionally I have bad days but they pass and I can get back to being at peace. I have been told for years that I have clinical depression and need meds for it, but no one who is suggesting this shows any real interest in listening to my reasons why I don't need them and am not depressed.

The way I see it, being content most of the time means I am not depressed, and at this point I am willing to let them think whatever they want. I know the truth, thats all that matters.

Enjoy this feeling and make the most of it.
The prozac may be making your brain make more seretonin which is good.
