Re: help...? (tw for depression and self harm)

(Anonymous) 2017-03-21 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I know this isn't going to help, given what you said. But my experience is that depression is often - not always, but often - profoundly chemical and physical. It is literally a consequence of physical brain function and brain chemistry. And on the one hand, that means that it's good to keep in mind that nothing about this is your fault.

On the other hand, the fact that it's a physical issue means that the best solutions are likely going to be physical, in the same way that the best thing to do about a broken arm is to get it treated and put a cast on it. My experience has definitely been that, at a certain level, it's not something that you can really fix with the power of will or positive thinking. It is a physical ailment. The most efficacious way to deal with it is to treat it as one. I know that might be difficult or tough but it is my experience that this is overwhelmingly and hugely the case. Of course if that's not possible it's not possible, and if you'd like to talk about things I think that would be fantastic, but that's the best advice that i have for you.
