Denise, I think you have voiced what a lot of people feel. I feel a lot like you do. I think my problems are very deep rooted and no one has ever taken the time or trouble to get at the bottom of them. JUst hand out a pill and move on. I have to confess I hidden them due to my mother's treatment of her problems by professionals and family. It used to be that doctors and the medical profession was out there to help or at least do no harm but now it is so out of control. Everyone likes to be busy. Too busy to help it seems. Depression is hard to treat, hard to disagnosis (I guess, it doesn't seem hard to those of us suffering, in my humble opinion), and maybe not alot of options for doctors etc to give sufferers. Whatever the problems with why they can't help us they don't. I feel like a survivor of shipwreck still adrift in the sea without a hope of land in sight. Oh some days I manage to fool most, I do ok. But deep down where it counts I think I need loads of help, I am so afraid to go seek it because it looks like there really isn't any out there and for right now I am limping along on my shipwreck ok-- right now. I am past angry right now. But 6 months ago I was exactly where you are. So you aren't alone. I am sorry you are so mad but you do have a right. It is shame we can't make all those un-helpful medical professionals feel our pain for a little bit so like Phillipa says "gotta walk in the shoes before the understanding comes". RK
