Not being depressed is having hope. Knowing that whatever happens, you'll get through it. It will be okay. You will be okay. Not being depressed means loving yourself and accepting your flaws. Not being depressed is knowing that you'll figure everything out and that life is good and worth living.

Not being depressed is basically the exact opposite of being depressed. You don't fee quite as weighted down by anxiety and you don't feel as hopeless, and as trapped. It's not like everything gets all better, but it is a significant difference.

Not being depressed is like feeling the normal self. No negative unhealthy thoughts and feelings. To feel emotionally and mentally stable again. To enjoy risks and victories and not to be overwhelmingly sad by failure but take it the healthy way as a hurdle towards success not the end

To not have depression anymore is like seeing a clear blue sea for the first time. It's like tasting your favorite food after you have not had it in years. It's like not having any worries in the world and you are the ruler. It is achievable, just have to take things one day at a time.

Not being depressed is like not living under a cloud. I've experienced both at different times, and am currently going through my most recent bout of depression. Depression is living under a cloud or in a fog, and it's hard to grasp a positive thought. They're like vague shadows. Without depression it's like the fog has lifted and you can see everything clearly. The bad doesn't linger and the good can be taken hold of for as long as you want.
