i was diagnosed with this recently . Ive done some reading on it and a lot of things out there also call this mild depression. My question is if its mild how come im having such a rough time dealing with it? Some days are so horrible i sit and cry multiple times. When i have a mild cold i can handle it just fine. Im not saying i dont have this. Im pretty sure i do after looking at the symptoms. Suicidal thoughts are always blazing thru my brain and i have to crush them,but some days its easier than others. Any outside stress can make me hide from the world even worse than i already do. Just seeing mild makes me feel weak and it reinforces a whole lot of negatives i feel. If anyone read my post in the relationships forum,since that happened ive been feeling terrible and more and more stuff just keeps piling. I feel like im drowning in it. Im taking lexapro and seeing a therapist about twice a month. Its starting to feel like a waste of time tho. It would be easier to just stop going and deal with it on my own i think. What if this is as good as it gets? (yeah yeah its from a movie,but its a good question anyway)
