Re: what do I do if people are actually PROHIBITING me from telling them about my depression? - July 31st 2014, 05:19 PM

Certain things in our life can cause a lot of distress and if something has happened to us where we're placed in a situation where we're believed to have done something wrong, it can make us feel even worse than we already are. It must be extremely hard to deal with a doctor who makes you feel like your opinions and feelings matter little to them despite them being there to help you but remember, doctors do have your best interests at heart and although you may not like some of the actions they've taken, it may be that they are required to do it due to seeing that it's the best way forward for you regardless to how hard it is. Sometimes in life there is no easy path forward, but hard ones. This is up to you to take a step back and see things not from one perspective but various. Understand that your doctor is trying to help you.

I don't know the exact details of what's happened and why you no one's 'gotten off their lazy behinds and done it for you' but not everything in life can be solved anyone else but ourselves. You might have far too high expectations of others where really, you may need to have higher expectations of yourself in order to achieve a goal. Whatever it was that you did or didn't do, you feel you're innocent. How you feel is the most important thing of all. Value it. Don't value the opinions of other people. If you know the truth, then your innocence is a matter of fact whilst their thoughts and feelings are a matter of opinion. Stop caring what they think, whether it be guilty or innocent, and start caring more about how you feel.

If you genuinely feel you can't get on with your doctor, try writing them a letter and explain to them that you're finding their lack of sensitivity difficult, that you feel like they're not helping you to get better and see if it's possible that you could be assigned to a new one.
