This is a bit of a weird feeling that I have. Cause like I know that my depression partly is genetically inherited and that I had no choice in what egg and sperm came together to create me.
But when I read in a lot of these posts about some of the situations that you guys have to go through, I can't help but feel somewhat guilty. Like mine brain is like, "Oh you have it so much better, you have a loving and supporting family, a good doctor, friends, a LGBT supporting community Etc. PSHHH what gives YOU the right to have depression." idk does anyone else have this. When I write it all down I am able to recognize the ridiculous-ness of that little thought but it still comes up. Maybe it's the Catholic Guilt talking since it's been hammered into me since Kindergarten |

Thanks for posting this. Yes, I often feel the way you describe. Plus, a large chunk of the problems I have I created myself. So I only have myself to blame. I often say to myself I hope it could be said I had a mental illness all of my life because, if not, then that means I was just flat out a bad person (not that I intended to be... it's just how I turned out.) Anyway... there's no litmus test to qualify for the support that's available here on MSF. You're here... and that's what counts. Best wishes...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.| Thread Tools | |
