Hi, new here. and here is my first two cents worth. have suffered mild
to servere depression all my life. Almost always forced upon me by
others. I have come the the personal epifinay that it is often more a
waste of time seeking help or getting it, than it is worth, and my owns
self realisation of my situation to get myself out of my ruts, is to use
my other traits/flaws/obsessions, to re focus my depression into the
only thing I am half good at. and for the lovely kind hearted peopl that
try to help on this forum, I will give just a fractional insight. e.g.
1. when the ambulance take you to hospital with a knee puffed up like a
balloon and the doctor tells you that I am "waisting he bloody Time"
(and I watched they playing solitare onthe computer)... that is such a
dissinsentice to complain. (grade4 arthritis both knees) I have to stop
half way up a flight of stairs to let the pain go down. (the number of
times I have been told of by Doctors could fill pages, and the
unbelieveable treatmenst I have been given. (taken by ambualce when my
pulse was 39, went down to 38, but shown the door when they got me up to
45.. 28 times in emergency ward, so far. 2. professionals like
Psychatrists (ordered to attend by centrelink) talking down to you like
i am the village idiot. That I may be, but I have changed federal
legisation. Doctors in Hospital giving medicines you are allergic to,
despit being given red armbands on admission. Doctors saying I am faking
thins, despit failing to read earlied doctors notes in my medical
history. (one doctor, said I had the worst hearing he had come across in
his career. but I can still hear somepeople above the steam whistles &
Cicadas (Tinnitus). and constanly being made fun of for it. cant watch
TV with out subtitles. (Have woken up Stone deaf on 3 occasions) 3.
being made fun of for my poor spelling and typing (despite fighting
Dyslexia all my life, and having my right hand sewn back together after
a powersaw accident. 6 hours of surgery) I have had 'officials' send
back my letters annoted with corrections, and friend even pubished a
'chid' in national magazine about this.. ( how to make a person feel
great, not) 4.5.6. etc. I could go on an on.. but will stop there.. S.
