Even when I decide to start paying attention to my problems I can't pay attention.

I finally got all of my diagnosis paperwork from the LCSW who worked with me last fall. We'd talked a lot in the 3 sessions and I thought I had: 1) Depression 2) ADHD (we already knew that). Not so fast, my son!

ADHD - check. Depression - not quite. Her papers say Disthymia (mild Depression, but all the friggin' time and, like, forever). G.A.D.?! - How'd I miss that in all our talk! Pretty gard-darn obvious now.

So who has been diagnosed with Disthymia vs. MDD? And are you lucky enough to have bouts of "Double-Depression" - Disthymia with MDD episodes every so often? How the **ck do you deal with this **it?!

Just managed to break another door in my house by kicking it open too hard just because .... Now kind of stressed about when the wife sees it + I have to fix that **it and I really don't have the energy these days to do much other than type out these things to you guys.
