My life is full of meaning now and I still find it hard to believe that I wasted so much time working for such a self-centered man as Rawat.
One of the hardest things for a person experiencing depression to accept (IMO,) is that depression is a very self-centered experience. That doesn't mean there isn't a physical cause however, and I do accept however that the depressive is unable to pull themself out of their self-centered universe easily.
I am speechless with disbelief at your complete lack of understanding . You should wear a warning label
" DO NOT ALLOW NEAR ANYBODY SUFFERING FROM A DEPRESSIVE ILLNESS "
I'm afraid you are completely wrong...a depressive illness is no more self -centred than any other illness. Is heart disease " self-centred " or a broken leg? Or even moving on to non physical- disease... is schizophrenia " self-centred " or amnesia or hysteria or mania.... or whatever...
I think you should never , ever try to advise people about depression again until you learn something about it and as you obviously think you already know about it...that may take some time.......
Also calling a human being " the depressive " is enough to make anyone feel depressed. It's ugly and sounds ,some how like a judgement.
I have only told very few people about this before. I paid the psycho analyst who helped me ...privately. Nobody ever needed to know about it.
I plumbed the depths of myself to somehow put into words what I had experienced and really..it seems that its a complete waste of time.
Later edit: I've just read Pat D's post. She's quite right. I've missed the point. Let's forget it !
