I don't know anyone on here well and not comparing self to others thinking I'm right they are wrong, I'm better than them. You don't know me so you can't judge me, know how I am like really or what I've been through.I am open minded, and trust my own understanding about depression. I don't have to agree with,follow what others think or say. I have right to express my own views and so have you. I haven't intended to be negative or said anything mean, judgemental, offensive about people who have different view and experience to me of depression. I'm sure you wouldn't be critical of therapists or the people who run workshops/courses for those with mental health issues which talk about cultivating positive thinking and habits, challenging negative unhelpful reactions to things. They talk about how its our choice and in our control, how we think and act.
