A very dear friend who has been officially dxd over many years with “severe treatment resistant depression” By multiple competent and experienced doctors.... was given the following advice ..
To treat their major depression as if it was chronic pain (or diabetes) ... at least I think those were the words
Possible trigger:
Shoot me if I’m wrong
Joke..
. , my memory / words are not always 100 percent accurate however hard I try. Does this mean I should never speak? If so this world would be a very cold, hard and sad place/
And I celebrate my “healthy narcissism”
(a good friend who was a dr told me this is essential for survival and I didn’t have as much of it as maybe I “should” and I think she was much more accurate about me than any of the many professionals I have consulted f2f (none of those mentioned narcissism in me or any of my units although my PUS had strong malignant traits. Feel free to ignore all of this I do not have time to edit. Thank you
(someone save my life tonight.. is playing... no worries, I am “safe”
(not about anyone on pc)
