Ahhhhh I hate that. I have a really close friend who "overcame her depression through therapy" and thinks I just need to "sit down and sort through my issues".

Her childhood was awful. Mine was awesome. I don't have issues other than rampant bipolar, which I don't think you can talk your way out of, or "resolve".

Totally get why your mad, I guess pepz just can't know until they walk a mile in your shoes . And why would they get it? I would never have believed a mood disorder could muck me up so much until I'd had it for seven years...

I think people who have had no depression don't get it at all.
People who have get what helped depression, but bipolar depression doesn't respond to cbt etc the same way.

Bipolar is a naughty little beast.
