My thereapist talked to me yesterday about my anger. He said, an early theory of depression was that it was anger turned inward. He said, sometimes, this is the case. He suggested I needed to fight the impossible situation which has triggered my latest depression, to get over it. I explained, "It's impossible. I have done everything I can possibly do, and it's hopeless." He said, I have to be like the Jew in the concentration camp who made fun of everything to make his young son laugh, or be feisty, or something, so I don't let it get to me and take it internally. I'm not sure how I will do this--I have been in a serious funk since yesterday. This was new information for me--I normally write in here and say all kinds of encouraging things, like, "don't worry, you WILL get better", etc. etc. Now, all I can say is that I think Tara is right--you have to fight a little, the depression, to get better. Talk to the docs about med options--is there anything else? And, what can you do to fight the depression? Think of things that make you feel good, and do at least one per day. When you feel a bit better, try two. Let us know how things go.
