Judy,
Yeah...I think about it alot! One thought I've had
is I was depressed for so many years, all my life
really...that I started to think that's who I was, a
depressed person, a dark person, a moody person...
Then when I discovered meds I had to start reforming
my self concept. Now I think I might be an enthusiastic
person, a deep thinking person who allows herself
to be dark sometimes, but not to spiral down (for too
terribly long anyway) and who desires, always, to
keep the faith, who WANT to be happy (rather than
thinking happy people are just stupid and deluded...
like before)...um what else...I also used to think,
when I was depressed, that I was more of a loner...
now that I'm not (thanks to meds), I think that
i'm a lot more social, and need alot more sociability
than I used to.
I'm just rambling...but I've thought about it alot
too...and I definately think I've had to adjust to
"the new me"....and think is it "me", or is it
the drugs, or is it just me without the weight of
depression bogging down the real me?
I think it's the latter....
