> If you haven't already read it, please read my post above "There is Hope for Everyone." After 20 years, countless pdocs, even more meds and several hospital stays, I am feeling better. There is always hope that things will and can turn around. I never thought it possible in my case either but I am starting to become productive again. I'm trying to re-invent myself after suffering from depression for more than 20 years and it's not easy but it is better than the alternative.

I have to admit to feeling very much worse since this interlude. I`m hoping that this feeling doesn`t persist, though. I guess that he was describing the `worst case scenario` so that I would be aware of it (does he not realise that depressed people automatically default to the worst case scenario anyway?). Still, he said it and there`s nothing I can do about it except that hope that, with time, I`ll stop hearing his words in my head every 5 minutes.
I still feel cross that he said it, especially when I had managed to pursuade myself of a possible silver lining (or at least a kind of greyish lining).
I`m still open to success stories - they will all be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Anna.
