:wtf:
As I've said, I always keep it to myself; virtually nobody in my personal life has any idea. I just thought I could vent a little online without getting harsh judgement in return, but I stand corrected. I don't ask for sensitivity from anyone, it just irritates me to no end when people have this matter-of-fact belief that they understand a medical condition they have no experience with or no way to relate to. You're not one of the people who just cannot feel happy no matter what they do or how hard they try, but such people exist, and I'm not asking anyone to cry me a river, just don't give me the "count your blessings" bullshit; that doesn't work with depressives, plain and simple.

Yes, I am self-aware, to such a keen degree that it's painful, and I've told myself the same thing...that I should be able to just fix this, just snap out of it. I'm still waiting.
