[Humpty Dumpty]

I don't seek treatment for my depression because I can't trust doctors. I'm afraid if I tell them I need "help" they will ask to many questions & I will say the wrong thing that will get me locked up in a hospital again. Even just thinking about going to a doctor as I write this post raises my anxiety level. Every time I have gotten up the courage/stupidity to schedule an appointment with a doctor by the time it comes around my anxiety is so high it is making my physically sick.

I don't really consider this treatment resistant because I'm not seeking treatment. I'm literally to afraid to seek treatment. Maybe I'm just that screwed up.

I think that treatment resistant depression is diagnosed based on having tried several meds and them not working. So I am thinking that no, you probably don't have that diagnosis.But regardless, it is terrible to suffer. I am sorry that you haven't found any relief.
Can you see a counselor?

No I don't trust them. I can't open up to them & tell them how I'm really feeling so what's the point?

I can't stand doctors either, for the most part. There are a few good ones but I find most of them to be indifferent or quite cutting in their remarks.
