I wish I had someone I could talk to about this. It's hard. So I wanted to say, sorry I have not been posting much or been much of a support lately. Not sure why I keep getting pulled into this again and again.

quote:And then I feel even worse and confused when I'm by myself again, because I may have been thinking that I was down/depressed, but then I'm able to be "fine" in public, so it makes me wonder what my problem is.
quote:I guess I almost "want" to be depressed, just to have some kind of plausable explanation for why I am feeling/behaving this way. To explain the lethargy and disinterest in a way that absolves myself of it. I can't even believe that the feelings I have a real. I think I am making it all up, using it as a crutch, and I'm actually just a really creepy person who simply doesn't care about anything. Not depressed- just bad. Just a lazy, selfish, self-indulgent, disinterested creepy person.
quote:Sorry I am just in such a bad place, I think I will explode or die or something if nobody cares. It's like I need to feel somebody out there cares.
quote:something else might be going on inside you, something that you can't even discern just yet. Something monumental that, if you really look into it, might be a source or true vitality. After all, in my opinion at least, 'happiness' is not the opposite of depression. Vitality is the opposite of depression.
quote:sometimes I think that's our long-ignored soul telling us something about how we might be feeling under all the junk. It could be an invitation to look someplace we haven't looked at in a while to see what's going on. I'm not at all saying that this is what you're experiencing, but maybe your T meant something along these lines.

My problem here is that I really think you are right, but I desperately need some guidance to do this...I don't really know how to "look" inside at what is "really going on" by myself, do you know what I mean? It just gets too confusing, and I've kind of given up on it. But my T can't really tell me what is going on...or even what he thinks is going on, because I am highly suggestible, and it might not be the truth. I just feel like I am in no-man's land.
Any ideas what to do?

Have a special coupon?

(According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*
*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
