Same; rant on. It makes me feel less isolated on this one!

Tell me about it. I found I had to choose my words very carefully; any kind of negative expression was deemed to be proof that I had 'learned' negative thought processes, which 'obviously' were at the heart of my depression. If only life were that simple. In the end I resorted to using long words which they couldn't understand & so couldn't scrutinise or dissect!
My lifestyle was also under constant attack. As you say, try working or conducting a relationship when you're cataleptic.

Time spent trying futiley to work out `why` all this happened is, in my opinion, time wasted. What`s needed now, is proper medical help, and to move on from this point, not go over bloody past relationships with family/bad relationships.
Exactly. I think we're on the same wavelength here.
