In reply to My pdoc also thinks I look depressed., posted by Dinah on July 9, 2009, at 10:46:26
You don't think thoughts about hurting yourself count as depressed thoughts?
To your question, for myself, yes I think others may notice signs of depression before I do. I can be fooled by the voice of depression still. It usually takes the form of "I'm not negative, I'm just seeing the truth finally". Or "sure I'm negative, but it's not a problem because..." Then my therapist starts strongly suggesting I get some exercise. I guess she's noticed it helps my mood. Or perhaps she thinks I'll be more likely to do that than to make a med change.
