Ira mentioned that although she is still on medication, she will not forget to take care of herself and have fun in life. She wrote:

"On 13th October, I had my last therapy session. After 3 times a week - For 8 years of psychoanalysis… I’m no longer in therapy. I’m still on medication and I probably will be for the foreseeable future. Not being in therapy anymore means that my therapist and I felt confident that I had learnt a bunch of things, and I’d be able to manage on my own - responsibly taking care of myself and remembering to have fun in life!"

The concluding lines of Ira's note can be read as:

"As far as 'cured' goes… I’m in remission from my depression and with my medication, I should be able to manage future depressive episodes - and if I can’t, I’ll ask for help. This is not a thing and not what it’s called but I like saying it - I graduated therapy!! I passed!"
