Hello Midman,
Please dom't paint others with the brush you have painted your life with. Your beliefs are yours. They are your opinoins and though we respect them we think that you don't have the right to judge anothers life and treatment.
We know that we are depressive, we know that we have only had 3 out of 4 weeks where the depression has lifted, but that is better than being in the black pit 4 out of 4 weeks.
Spent a short period of time with a therapist about 3 times a week for 6 weeks and she helped me to get the sexual abuse and rape out from the place in my mind that I had crammed it into.
I am so grateful to her, she was not the "sit and cry it out" type of therapist, she made me work. She made good on her statement of no more than 6 weeks therapy would be needed to work on the abuse and rape and she was right. I can't say I'm completely healed but I'm ok and I can put it where it belongs...but those inside are still pissed off...so I have more work to do but no more than anyone else...
Smile it won't hurt...
