Big-g-g- mistake, Poppy Princess, in my view.

I can understand your giving up an ineffective psychiatrist, but there are many more
out there who are quite good and you do need therapy. It is true that your thinking
may be clouded by depression.

Get another psychiatrist, please. Talk to him about Deplin (see Deplin.com for more information).

I noticed that your feeling tone is "afraid". You need to talk about that with a
psychiatrist because that fear may just be the cause of your depression.

Most of us have gotten sick and tired (one even calls herself "thick and tired"--I know what
she means) of depression and we've resolved to do everything possible to get it under
control each day. You could do the same thing as easily as any one of us has done
and continues to do on a daily basis.

You have nothing in your life, I suspect, that means you should punish yourself for
the rest of your life! You recognize that we're human, not gods, and everyone has
made mistakes. Read a little paperback called "Forgiving and Moving On" or "Keep It Simple".

Remember, get that new psychiatrist if you will, please, and forgive and move on after you've talked about the thing you are afraid of with a more compassionate psychiatrist. Getting that out in the privacy of his/her office is the major step toward recovery from depression.

Self-image will improve and so will every other quality in your life. It's up to you; we'll
be here to support where we are able, and you keep us informed about how you're
getting along. Okay?

Take care.
