I wrote my book hoping that if I told my story of depression and recovery honestly, other people living with depression would trust it, including the part about recovering hope and joy. Since publication, readers have told me that they appreciated my honesty and that the book has helped them. I am grateful. People ask me if I am well, if I have recovered from the depression that led to my hospitalizations. I tell them that I don't know, but I do know that I enjoy my life more now than I ever have. For a Minnesotan, having just survived the worst winter in over thirty years, this is saying a lot. The lessons I learned in my recovery continue to serve me well. I continue daily reading of the psalms, except on Sundays when I'm doing last minute sermon preparation. The power of the psalms to free me from self-absorption, to give words to my deepest feelings, and to bring me to God is undiminished. All the sources of pleasure I describe, including classic movies, also continue. And I continue to serve as an interim pastor, trying to practice the skills of setting limits, not taking over-responsibility, and not trying to control other people.
