Heylo,
It's Bewilderness here, glad to be a member of a forum again.
Lately I've been feeling like I'm going through an emotional blender, so its hard to really isolate what's actually going on.
I've read a few of the posts my people here and I feel really strongly that I can relate to the same kind of logic and emotion. My diagnosis is "major depressive disorder," and I kind of feel that maybe that makes me different from the majority of people here. I'm rather hoping though that I can force myself to see beyond the differences, wherever they may be. After all, sharing a set of symptoms does not mean we also share all other aspects of ourselves, our lives. And yet, somehow the advice, the support, transcends the situational differences.
I've been really frustrated with the lack of benefit I've gotten from conventional treatments of depression, and so, part of the reason I'm here is... by trying to see if the reason I'm not getting "better" is (in part) because I'm not being treated for the right "illness"... I've stumbled across DBT and the borderline personality and am hoping (beyond hope) that I can glean some sort of benefit from understanding it and trying out some of the techniques for dealing with it. (Though at the same time I'm almost completely without hope.)
I mean, superficially, there's a lot I could complain about (my leg being out-of-service, or my problems in relationships) ...but I feel like that stuff is unimportant when compared to the fact that I frequently just don't know how to deal with life without feeling completely drained and frustrated and oftentimes making those who care about me feel the same way.
Anyway, that's my story.
Peace,
Bewild
