hi Elsie, unfortunately this is a perfect way of describing your depression and perhaps if I can describe it the way I see it, which you may not agree with but it's something to think about.
Yes, with depression we always seem to be overtaken by everyone else telling us what to do, what we should be doing, where to go and once there is someone that connects with us then we sort of feel comfortable because they are doing all the hard work, all we do is put on another bandaid, knowing that we don't have to do anything except to turn up to our appointments, and so another bandaid is put on, but our friend is sticking by us.
In other word's it's a very difficult journey along the path of our depression, but there are times when we feel as though we can connect and much better, only to know that later on we will have a relapse and go back to square one.
I may not have described it the way you see it, or someone else may have another interpretation. Geoff.
