Mach's questions are very good ones. The answers are a little harder.
#1, hard because is the answer is no, then you have to look at yourself a bit differently. If yes, then you have to decide how YOU want to proceed based on that feeling.
#2-an even harder one and that is one that you may have to answer daily for a long time
#3-Well... I do believe in MLC. Depression drives it. It could probably be called something else but it is a real phase that some people experience in their lives. Personally I believe that the depression is accompianied by some very deep anger. That is in large part what I think makes it different from MLC.
Is H/W having one? Only each of us LBS can decide that. Not anyone else, a therapist, friend, family member. We have to decide, and the answer the other questions and step forward for ourselves.
