I've also found it useful to set goals that are realistic to keep your mind busy. The Demons don't go away, they can strike any time of day, especially night. Or you can be on Cloud 9 one day and wake up in that agonizing depression for no apparent reason. But you have to remember to take control of it and not the other way around. Kids or pets are another great form of assistance for the times you're not going to class for that Bachelor's or Associates Degree, Promotion at work, just getting out of bed-showered-dressed-out of the house can be a victory for some. It's also nice to have people to talk with as well besides some PhD that hasn't been in whatever situation you've been in. Find people that have been in your shoes to talk to, not only are you venting but your bonding with someone who has been or currently in the same place you are. To everyone best of luck and I'm here for combat veterans to discuss things with.
