RE: Overthinking: The Brain Plague.

in #mental8 years ago

I assure you I meant no disrespect. Rereading it I understand how you perceived what I wrote as criticism. You are right about "disqualifying" sherlock cupid's experiences. That wasn't my intention. For me, depression IS debilitating and you reminded me that it takes on many forms in different people. I don't pretend to think I have any right minimizing someone else's suffering. And @sherlockcupid, if it came across like that, I apologize. I have no intention of "diagnosing" anyone. So to answer your question, @schro, no. I am not his therapist or psychiatrist. Nor am I "thoughtless". But I am interested in the discussion of depression overall and I am curious as to what has helped sherlockcupid when he is at his lowest points.

Thanks fairytalelife,
You're right, I did take it that way. As a result I let that define my tone. So my apologies for allowing what was a misunderstanding to get the better of me and reply quite harshly. Thank you for taking the time to understand my position as well.
I'd love to see more discussion around it too. Perhaps next time I will remember that and try not to be such an ass.
