> What does depression mean? I don't know what it doesn't mean. I can't comprehend when people talk about "remission" or feeling good or wanting to get up in the morning. I've never experienced anything like that. I can't even imagine it. There's only bad, worse, and worst. Emptiness. Loneliness. Fear. Self-hatred. Until I was 40 I just thought I was a defective person and there was nothing to be done. Then I started the therapy and meds go-round. I've failed every med there is, and after 632 therapy sessions my therapist told me "I can't help you, you obviously need to be depressed." So I'm back where I started, after all those horrible side effects, all the humiliation of those outrageously priced therapy sessions, I guess the reality is that I'm just a defective person. Cecilia
How horrible that a therapist, or anyone for that matter, but especially a therapist who should know better would say you obviously need to be depressed. More obviously she needs to be in another profession. Can't admit failure to help on her part.
I don't know you , but I know you aren't a defective person. There is no such thing. I have often thought of myself that way in the past. But I am who I am and that is more than good enough. So stop buying into that c---. Can I say that word, c---?donna
