[QUOTE="serenity648, post: 1345947"] remember that depression lies to us. It seems to draw negative thoughts into our heads in a way that is very hard to ignore. Knowing that the thoughts are lies helps me. And I think of if a limb was paralysed, I wouldnt expect to feel it, even though it is there and in apparent working order. Depression does that to our emotions. We sort of know wht we should expect to feel, and then beat ourselves up for not feeling it, and feel like we are failing at being a person too. I dont have any answers, but recognising it is "just" depression talking, and the real you is still under the negative voice may help perhaps? sending hugs, if thats OK. You may not [I]feel [/I]proud and delighted, but intellectually can you acknowledge that I think you are amazing and a star and done BRILLIANTLY!!!! [/QUOTE]
