It really made me feel special. She liked me because I was a good student, wrote well, shared in class and followed directions. Then when I had my breakdown the next year, she turned her back on me and stopped talking to me all together, wouldnt answer my emails or anything. It really hurt.

I'm really sorry this happened to you
...I hope you did find someone to talk to during that time though. Thanks for sharing this, and thanks to everyone else as well. I didn't even realize this was a symptom of depression.
I've never had an actual diagnosis of depression, just anxiety. But I've read the symptoms of dysthymia, actually, and I pretty much have most or all of them in some way or another. Some more severe than others, but I can feel them. I have a therapist but right now I'm feeling really disconnected from her. I tell her these things and that I feel my anxiety is getting worse, and she chalks everything up to having a "creative mentality" (I am very much into writing and art - my avatar is a colored pencil drawing I drew from a photo)....hmm
