Author here. So sorry to hear about your depression and medication trials (ugh, the side effects..), though I'm heartened by the sentiment that you "inevitably DO get out of it. Fortunately these things are usually temporary, however long that temporary might be.

I hadn't consider that my own moving around in my early twenties was a way to try and 'break out' of the cycle until you posted this.

Wishing you and your family the best in the new year!
