I've recently been seeing a Dr about my so called "depression". I've had depression for about 7 years at this stage now and gotten diagnoses from multiple sources. But this year from two different senior doctors I've been told actually you don't have depression at all you just have - bad coping skills and (me putting it bluntly) a messed up personality.

I don't know what to do with this information. While part of me obviously thinks diagnoses/labels don't matter, I can't help but think that it really is me that's the problem. I'm not sick at all. It is my fault. But surely part of depression is having bad coping skills etc..
I'm just so confused. I feel like I've been standing in this place for years and now that someone has come up and told nope you're actually standing all the way over here on the map.. I don't know. I feel so stupid
