I can totally relate to how you feel ksvt. I can really beat myself up
with the "I should snap out of it, just get over it, blahblahblah" rap
that we've all done. Unlike me you're reaching out and trying to get
the help that you need. It took me years to get to the point where I
asked for the help I needed that finally pointed to the depression. It's
weird the ways your body tells you something is wrong. Mine started out
with terrible back-aches/spasms. I guess it was my brains way of saying,
"ok, if you won't listen to me maybe a knife between you're shoulder blades
will get you to a doctor".It's easy to tell you not to feel shame. But just remember; it doesn't matter
who you are or what you are - you're alright with me.
