Thanks again. Jess.
Yes sometimes I get really engulfed by the whole thing and forget to remind myself that it is just symptoms - it just feels like me being me - sort of like holding on to something in a wind tunnel and although it is hard, being able to hold myself back, but then getting tired and slipping into the wind tunnel and just being part of that whole experience, unable to escape again and just staying in it.

I wonder if you have tried any mindfulness stuff - I am starting to learn it and it is supposed to be good for depression.
