    been thiniing as well tho ive had 4 yrs of coggnative therpy an i do know it helped as i can walk out the door now but i still feel i havew other probs like a chemicle imbalance somewhere

    when im mad i scare my self
    i dont feel or show any emotion sometimes
    an i think that i could hurt some on badly an show no remorse

    am i going crazy?
    do i need another shrink?

    its like sicotic behaviour

    does any one else feel like me just with depression is it normal for the feelings to go this far?

    Hi DD... I feel like this too. I just called and got an appointment with the doctor for Friday morning.
    My partner and I are living apart at the moment, but I think it's helping a bit.
    I have been posting here about my relationship problems and got some great advice, but after long talks with my folks and my OH, I've decided to get help.

    I was blaming everything on my OH, but to be fair, if I was happy none of this would be happening. I know that now. It's classic depression apparently.

    My mother suffered with it so she knows a lot of how I'm feeling and my dad helped her through so he does too. The only reason my OH is still with me is because he went through it too some years ago, and so he knows I'm not being a cow, just not very well.

    I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have them all.

    I'm scared about seeing a doctor... especially as I don't know if I should tell him about the S.H?

    I haven't done it for a long time, but think about it sometimes (when I'm very low) and the last time was about a year ago.

    If I tell him, in your experience, what do you think will happen?

    feeling very scared now.

    DD, I don't think you're mad... I know just how you feel.
    hang in there...
    squeeeeezes,

    daisy doughnut 2,(((HUGS))) Are you currently on any medication at the moment? I would agree that talking to your Doctor would be the first step to getting some kind of help/support.

    Little Pickle, I can understand that you are worried about going to see your Doctor but from personal experience it was OK. Once you've told them what's going on it's a huge relief. You'll feel a lot better and of course it's the first step to getting help, whether that be medication or some kind of talking therapy.

    It's up to you whether you mention the SH but I think it's a good idea to be honest so that you can get the right kind of help.

    Try not to feel so scared (((HUGS)))
