I also have the problem that psychiatrists seem to think my depression is boring. I avoid seeing them. My primary doctor is way more interested in my mental health than any of the shrinks I've seen.
DON'T GIVE UP.

Thankyou. I think the problem with my therapist was that I only really went to see her when I was doing good. I would only ever call to see her when I felt better, when I get in a crappy rut, just picking up the phone to book myself in seems impossible.
I would let her know of my breakdowns, and she did once ask how often I would go 'up and down' .. She said it was most likely just cycling in and out of depression.
I also have never felt comfortable telling my doctor any of this.. I'm wondering if I should call the mental health clinic here in town. That would maybe be a start.
