i think my depression broke in a weird way

Posted by Phil on March 11, 2014, at 20:22:15

for the last few weeks i've been sending some of the worst crap to my friend of 33 years. then he returned fire. then another friend, get a life.

that was days ago. i didn't call first but drove to his place 30 minutes away. he was getting out of his truck turned around shook hands and all i could see was love...him too.

i called my other friend, like old times.

this can't be!! that minute it felt like my depression lifting..somehow it gave me hope.

I don't have the words.

Most of them can, if they are true friends. Understand what you are up against. And accept you because you are you.

That supports my observations about depression often having its root in circumstances. Conventional therapies, to me, often look like the tail wagging the dog, where the first line is to attempt to treat the depression itself, with the expectation that the same circumstances will somehow be OK with "successful" treatment, i.e. an "attitude adjustment".

Bad job? Take a pill. Bad marriage? Take a pill. Bad social life? Take a pill. And on and on.
