Depression management is the cure

CAL,

I did not say that sharing your experience and knowledge was a bad thing.

I am sure someone, perhaps one of the members that do not post, but read, may benefit from this, you never know.

However, it crossed the line of judgement when you stated:

" My wellness tells the story, not your misguided opinion."

We all have different views and what works for us.

" I am cured, and have been for two years. Pinpoint elimination of an allergen and low dose lithium saved my life and I am as normal as the most stable person out there."

There actually is no 'normal' out in the world. No one is a 'cookie-cutter' copy. Most people with depression do not get help, they just stuff the feeling and self medicate with alcohol, work, otc meds, etc...

I now this, because for 28yrs I was a workacohlic and I drink, alot on days off. I have been inpatient 5 times. You meet and talk to a lot of people.

"My wellness is not a view,it's an empirical fact.

this may be, does not mean it would be for someone else.

You mean well and it is so appreciated, just served in a rough format.

I do hope you decide to stay as a member.
Peace

Of course I am staying on here! I have thick skin and people suffering with depression need a rock not playdoh. When I say "normal" I mean you feel more like Winnie the Pooh and less like Eeyore ;).

Anyone in your life that isn't 100% committed to your wellness.

To your wellness or to their wellness? We all have our own wellness to be committed to. We can support each other, but yet we have our own lives. I don't expect others to fix or even help because I don't tell them about it.

Playdoh is anyone not 100% committed to your wellness.
