This weekend I was supposed to go away with my partner. However I was feeling so bad I just could not do it. (Last night I hit a rough spot and fell into a bad place: depression, overall feeling rotten ).
Even getting in the car seemed like too much.
When I told my T about it she had this reaction: that sometimes depression takes hold and tells us what to do even though it may not be the right thing.
But actually staying home DID feel like the right thing.
Even this evening I feel like I have had a chance to simply sit and think, which has felt calming and like some needed time for myself. In the end I think my T misinterpreted.
Is it OK to still feel like I have made the right decision for myself even if she sort of said the opposite? Often my T tells me that the best thing is to be around people. But sometimes I just know that I need some time by myself, even when I am depressed.
