I feel guilty because there is no good reason to feel bad. I feel guilty because of all damage I've done over the years. And just to
keep the guilt flowing freely, I have to keep hearing how all I have to do is:1) exercise regularly &/or
2) eat right &/or
3) take vitamin/herbal supplement X &/or
4) Just get over it./Get on with your life.I have tried all of these separately and in combination. NO they didn't work. Some of them helped a bit, but the implication
that I was depressed because I was not doing something right was more destructive than whatever help I got from the advice.
Thank God some people in the medical community finally figured out that this is physical and not just a bad attitude.
Maybe I won't feel so guilty when the rest of the world quits blaming me for feeling down without a good reason.
