...... i have other things to focus on right now. but i am kind of angry at him that he keeps saying that i'm better now because i told him.

i also makes me think i shouldn't be seeing a pdoc anymore, because if my depression is only related to past experiences, then what am i doing taking meds for it.

Deli, I know this stuff is really hard for you. I think the pain you're in now and in general like with this stuff is getting to you and distorting some things.

For pdoc you cast it, as above, in terms of "all." I don't think anyone would think it was "all." When he talks about you being "better now" it seems that you're taking it as if he's dismissing any other suffering, like that you're "all" better. Some better, maybe?

You also use the universal "only” (i.e. "all") “related to past experiences."

Don't lose sight of the bigger picture(s).
