Hi there, pleased to be friends with you. My mental state is pretty much the same. I haven't sought more therapy - perhaps if I saw reports of of therapy and/or drugs working well for dysthymic individuals, I'd be more inclined to seek it. But I didn't find much info on treatment of dysthymia and success rates. Sometimes I think that a cure for myself would need to come from within myself. Other times, I think there is no cure. Most of the time I try not to think about it much.
