which is why I ignored their advice. They don't know enough about me to properly diagnose my condition or plan a solution. Nor do they know the nature of my illness or how to treat it.

People who think that a depressed person can just snap out of it, deserve to either go to hell or end up with a depression of their own that they cannot snap out of.

A lot of the way I think and feel comes from the illness. The illness creates negative thoughts, and it is like having bad recordings being played in my head over and over again and I don't have access to an off switch.
