Welcome! I'm glad you have joined us. The forums are a great way to share your thoughts and find support- and I know you will find support, as evidenced already!
Have you tried Cognitive Behavior Therapy? It really produces results. You don't neccesarily have to deal with depression for the rest of your life. For sure you should be able to help keep it mostly at bay with the right thinking and other tools.
What have you found to be helpful in the past? What is your support system like? Are you using the program?

Learn to accept depression as a visitor. She comes and goes as she please.
Learn to live a vital life while She is with you, though you may have to make some adjustment.
You are happier if she is gone.
She can come in an hour and gone the next. She may stay with you for a few days. While She is with you, do what you can do , experiment.
Feel Her presence. Accept Her as a part of life, like accepting a rainy day, or days with a cold. Learn what you can do in a rainy day or days with cold.
If the cold is severe, you may need a doctor. She is going to come back, may be in a milder form, or in a shorter duration form, but She can come back any time She wants. Get ready for Her.
