I know that this is impossible in a way, since if you speak an untruth without realizing it, it's more of a "mistake" than a "lie." However, I still feel very guilty about it.
I think, on average, I've been doing better now than I was in the past. That is to say, sometimes I have moments of not being completely, chronically depressed, which is a lot more than I could ever say for the last, let's say, decade or so.
So, during these somewhat good moments, I might talk about where I've improved, and how I've done it, and things I'm doing. And then a low spell sets in. And then I feel like such a complete idiot for even thinking anything good about myself, but even worse, I feel like a liar. Is it a lie, if I thought and felt it was true at the time?
Thanks for reading...
