In reply to when is depression not depression?, posted by Dubya on April 16, 2001, at 22:10:38
Dubya,
It does sound like depression to me--and yes, I can certainly relate to the self-critical thoughts that you are talking about. Try to be more compassionate toward yourself---it does take time for things to change. Are you in therapy? It soudns like you could use it, given how badly you feel about yourself and given all the difficult experiences you have had. Don't take more medication than prescribed. If you feel the med isn't working, talk to the doctor about it. If you aren't sure the doc is listening, get a second opinion.
