15. LIVING WITH DEPRESSION #2: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
By flip on Nov 4, 2008 | In My Story, Helpful Hints | Send feedback »
When I was diagnosed as having depression, the diagnosis messed me up almost as badly as the depression itself. I was confused and disoriented, not knowing what was going on. What exactly was wrong with me? Was I losing my mind? Are they going to lock me up here? Will I get well? Am I going to lose my job? What about this, that, and the other? I was heavily medicated and had my brain shaken up with electroconvulsive therapy, kind of like a zombie - it was a time I would rather not think of.
