I dunno. I read a few of the posts in the "depression success stories" area and came away feeling more resentful than ever. Maybe I'm wrong, but I got that same smug sense I get from people who've never experienced real depression. That same old "you're not trying hard enough" "just snap out of it" and "if you're still depressed it's because you lack willpower and basically suck as a human being."

I came here looking for people who understand what it's like.

I can have smug assholes call my depression a character flaw instead of an illness anywhere, I don't need to come here for that.

I dunno. Well I might be back, I might not. I really don't know right now. I hope I'm wrong, but... I don't think I am.
