Thanks for the responses. But the Dysthymic Disorder was theory from 10 to 12 years ago. So I know about negative thought processes and how to correct them already. I am not sure what the current problem is. Just that it feels similar to my childhood except more annoying sleeping problems and sadness. I had kept the Dysthymic Disorder theory out of my records for all those years. But, now that I want to go back to a counselor I had to tell them. Arg. I don't know if I am depressed or not. I am happy some but I think I am sad more often than happy. Sometimes my happy has a lesser joy to it than it did about a month ago.
