Been there, done that, WS. I lost an entire year of my life to suicidal depression. I'm nearly always moderately depressed, but that year, the suicidal ideation took over my life. I could only get out of bed in the morning by counting the days until *the* day when I would finally exert control over my life.
I hear you that it feels rational, even when you know it's not. That's part of the seduction. I can believe things when I'm that depressed that I would never believe otherwise.
But you can come out the other side. I know I keep telling you to hang in there, but honestly, that's what you have to do to reach the other side. And one day you'll wake up and realize you're not crying because you have to get out of bed. I can't promise that your life will suddenly be easy, but I can promise that this horrible depression will lift -- it may not go away completely, but it will lift enough to make it easier.
Did you see Laurie last Friday? If so, how was it and what did she have to say about the whole Anne thing?
I hope you get in to see your new T soon. And I hope she's the perfect match for you.
