All persons suffering from depression learn - instinctively and unconsciously - how to manipulate the people around them to indulge and enable their depression. Hence, it overlaps with narcissistic personality disorders. That way, the mentally ill person does not have to confront that they aren't fighting the condition, as the enabling and confirming interactions relives stress. This is due to how the modern welfare state is set up: the worse shape you can present yourself as being in, the better aid you are given, involuntarily creating incentive for all involved to "be as bad as they can be".
The depression saps the ability and will to make oneself better, and makes one susceptible to accept offers that in the long run just makes things worse. Depression must be overcome by the person himself realising the double-bind trap that depression creates for them, and the sufferer must then maintian a constant and consequent vigil against any tendency to give in, to allow himself to be weak, or to give up and slide back into self-loathing and apathy and distractive behviours. It is very much akin to fighting off alcoholism or other substance abuse, and is most likely life-long.
In my amateur's experience, about 1/10 can manage to garner the will to take control instead of giving in, and the only one common theme I've ever noticed is that they were in "do or die"-situations whenthey found their will to fight; hardly something that can be bottled and sold ormade into a therapeutic method.
Whether a remark is hurtful or not has no bearing on truth, and vice versa. Calling me "sight impaired" instead of half-blind will never affect my eyesight.
Excuse me but i will stick to my belief...I know many people that are holding down very hard jobs never complaining that suffer from depression... Jolly good for you and the rest that believe a good walk/run exercise every day will help get rid of your depression. I am a retired therapist and have my own opinions that do not pigeonhole people. I close MY case and wish not to hear back from either of you again.

RUBBISH.
Screaming rubbish
Doth protests too much.
An actual therapist would consider other opinions, but not you.
Not pidgin hole, oh but you do.
You keep people in suffering with your Pity. You’re self appointed, I will help, I’m a therapist.
The most narcissistic and mentally disturbed people I’ve met are therapists who refuse to do their own work.
I’m glad you’re retired.
Exactly!
I’m grateful to all get out the people around me didn’t co- sign my BS.
Encouragement, let’s do this, we can were what snapped me out.
If I had the above person in my life, I might have sunk further in my “ nice and sweet” manipulations.
Gaining pity to stay in my loser funk.
Thank you for getting exactly what I stated.
People co signing the BS is why we have so many mentally off people.
Granted some are in need of prescription medication I would gather.
The majority, have people like Tessa, fawning over them, for their own power trip games.

🤣🤣🤣 omg.
I don’t want to hear anything that might disrupt my cognitive dissonance, that would be a more honest statement.
Of course you’re a therapist, most are so dysfunctional and clueless to their own disorders, and actually prolonging others in mental illness.
Work the 12 Steps and make amends.
How many people did you see for years?
Steal their money and actually convince yourself you helped….
