A one year stint without depression is not a cure. I sincerely hope that, if you are being sincere, you do not sink back into a depression. However, I would warn you against the mistake of believing one year means depression is cured. A tragedy, stress, illness, etc. could easily make you depressed again and you may find that your manner of thinking had fuck all to do with it. It could be the hormonal changes that come with becoming an adult. It could have been the stimulation you derived from being part of your little seminars. It could have been a number of things -- including your way of thinking. However, having the audacity to assume that your pet project will work for anyone shows that you have little to no life experience. If you think identifying negative thinking is going to stop a person in the grip of psychosis, you are as fucking deluded as a Christian who thinks her baby is possessed.
I just explained the whole thought process behind what causes stress, depression and anxiety. If tragedy were to strike, I'd be doing wrong path, I'd be doing missing out, I'd be doing should've/could've, I'd start to feel worth less. But life is a journey, you're always learning and receiving, you only know what you know and your self-worth can never be compromised. It's only when you perpetuate egotistical thinking, start to compare yourself with others (self-esteem) that you lapse into states of psychological stress. I'm sorry, but none of what I've stated is dogma.
