In reply to Guilt about depression - feedback please, posted by ksvt on October 15, 2000, at 16:38:13
Hi- I felt more guilt at my first depression (5 years ago) than I do now. At that time, my knowledge of depression was very minimal-but I had a great doctor that not only helped with prescriptions but just talking. Of course,I think there still is a stigma attached to depression maybe that's what causes your guilt. There are still only a handful of people that know about my depressions, and most of them are people who went throught it themselves so are very understanding.
I am in a mild depression right now, but as I have had many difficult things happen this year (death of parent, illness of other parent,moving, changing jobs) I don't feel guilty, but that it is the stress of the circumstances I have been going through. Hope this helps some. CS
