My IC explained to me that one of the worst parts of depression, as a disease, is that the disordered thinking that comes with it, prevents the sufferer from seeing that something may be clinically wrong with them.
They just assume that life is a piece of crap and that there is no way to make things better. It never occurs to them that something may be making things seem so much worse. I guess that's why they have to fall so far before getting help.
All I know is that I have a big old anxious knot in my gut even though I am telling myself repeatedly, what happens at the doctor's office does not concern you. You cannot even know if he will show up.
