I had forgotten the line about tuberculosis, that actually is very similar to what I’m talking about. The depression may not be their fault, but it doesn’t mean I have to take abuse from them!

I must have had too many other issues going on to recognise depression five years ago, I seemed to work my way out of it during the jobhunting process and by the time I bought “Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy” – I cheered up. So I only got retail therapy out of buying the book

Maybe I will get another copy and have a read some day (I since gave it away to a friend who was clinically depressed), but therapy’s working and my depression never got to the medication level. Now I’m jobhunting again, I have that to take up my time and, strangely, keep me optimistic regarding whatever I might do next.

good point, and good point.

btw, I especially liked Dr. Foreman’s lines this show…

mom: did he need a sedative?
Foreman: I did.
…
mom: the rudeness isn’t his fault
Foreman: if he had Taberculosis it wouldn’t be his fault, but I still wouldn’t let him cough on me.
