I don't like how if you're not suicidal, nobody cares about your depression. My doctor will ask what level I'm at, I'll say 9 or 10, she'll ask like 4 times if I'm having thoughts of hurting myself, I'll say no and she'll move right on to something else.
The only reason I'm seeing her if FOR depression, she should be better at this.
@JPSCHWEIZER63 it sucks because you need help, most of the time you even want help, but it doesn't come. There's no help for depressed people UNLESS they hurt themselves and it's so irritating. Like surely there's a chemical mixture that'll help with this? I refuse to believe this is how I'm supposed to live.
@dr_zooks depression isn't always about self harm. Mental health availability in US is terrible in every state, both of my children have had difficulty finding the help they need. Be kind to yourself.
