Yeah. same here.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I guess it's situational in my case. Mostly. Without getting into details, that's why I said I'm aware of all the contributing factors but can't do anything about them.
Or is this situational also negatively impacting and underlying endo/bio. The two do have implications for each other.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

How would I know? As I said, I have my limits discussing my private life on a public forum. I know what I'm diagnosed with, and so I go with that.
Would need to discuss with your shrink. Just something to think about.

I agree with my doctors in that mine is both.

Looks like I am the only one who has ever reached the bottom of depression. It turned out it's not easy at all for one to kill themselves. I tried 2-3 years ago and failed. But that failed attempt gave me a new perspective of life, so to speak and made a new person of me. Not a positive one, though. Guess I just accepted the fact I'll have to go through life whether I want it or not and to do it all alone without a partner to share good and bad with.

Nope, been there. Got the wrist scars to show for it. You're quite right, making someone dead isn't quite as easy as you'd think.
