Thank you SO much to everyone who posted in response to this thread. I'm glad that this question has opened up possibilities for people to consider, I was hoping it might as my T did the same for me.

I think the important thing to remember is that, while maybe depression is -for lack of a better work - an "excuse" to not challenging yourself fully, it doesn't mean that you CAN'T and that in the future you will not. I think that even by just opening up to the possibility of this shows that you are already making a step in the right direction. A step for change. A step for possibility.

Many hugs to all...
