Its Funny,

When all of this(mental illness) started happening, I was waiting for someone to turn around and say gotya, were just messing with you.

From the people I always believed would protect me to the ex girlfriend who wanted nothing to do with me. Im getting diagnosed with these problems and all I can think about is, is this what people do to people, people engineer manipulation, engineer failure, engineer mental illness.

Now your saying what do you think your special or you don't have a mental illness and suffer from depression?

No... I know I do now.

Tell me your thoughts, sounds like Im pushing or moving blame or being unrealistic but I cant help how I feel.

Hello, Hi IM Dan.

A therapist used these words with me recently: "Feelings are there for a reason." I agree, and I do not believe much good can come from denying the existence of our feelings as they are.

Many posters on these forums have found few of their family and friends are capable of accepting what we have to say without judging. Personally, I work on a strict "need-to-know" basis. I don't share with people who do not have a real need to know what's up with me.

Please make yourself at home here.

Thank you for the welcome first and foremost rohag and fuzzy,
I would have to agree with your comment my feelings should be strictly need to know.
However putting a few words out there on the interwebs allows me to test the waters, test my feelings, test my inner critic, no one should find any offence because quite frankly ive learned not to trust everything I think too...

It helps when I can relate, the building blocks of humanity..
