Let me try to fill in the blanks as I am sure there are people depressed. Failed relationship is one of the causes of depression.

Now I have seen probably 5 psychiatrists and 3 psychologists. Do I know the reason for my long running depression? No. What I have learned is that the cause is less important. You need to know how to cope with it. It isn't like to dive deep find something and fix it. And good doctors never come to a conclusion. They ask questions and have you go through the voyage. They merely reflect and influence your thinking. In my experience psychologists have been able to get me on track. Yes, I did get a med from the psychiatrist but it was the talking therapy kept me going.

Bipolar well that is a result of back to back depressions. Possibly from 10 years old every 2 years I felt really low very low. At the end, lithium and more importantly mindfulness really helped me. Look there are people around who get electric shocks every 6 months and try to go on with a normal life. These are educated people.

I am ok but as I read myself I noticed that yes I am asking the same questions. So my body function is ok but my thinking still not there. Hence I would say I am not getting to my W. Being who I once was and even better.

That's me. I Will Do.
