I don't mean to be rude, but why are you so sure I'm afraid to leave this depression behind? Why do you insist on making such statements, as if you knew me or as if you knew exactly how I feel? If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have seen my therapist or I wouldn't be taking any kind of treatment.

Do you really think depression is something I chose? Sometimes we go through some things that bring us to a state of sadness, depression, anger, whatever, but we did not decide to get there. Sometimes it's just a matter of being so freaking tired, that we feel also sad and completely burned out. Sometimes all we need is time and someone to talk to, someone to confide in or even different opinions about what we don't seem to understand.

Is is so hard to try and be a little empathic about this? Is this your way to try and help? Because for me it is anything but helpful.

FYI, my therapist taught me that the more we understand what we went through, the better we will move on by learning, not just acting as if nothing had happened.

I thought this site was a place where we could find people who would lend a helping hand, not a place where I would feel judged on a false basis.

I'm sorry, but what you told me was a little harsh and for that, I already have myself, because my therapist taught me that I have to be a little hard on myself in order to be more objective. And this has worked for me the last 8 years. During that time I have only visited my therapist three times.

A little piece of advice: don't go judging people as if you knew them and what they have been through. Nobody likes that and it doesn't say anything good about you.
