i found this cool quote. it made me laugh anyway -

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So for today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M and a chocolate cake. I feel better already."

hehe.

well i started therapy. i went in there and bombarded her with everything. i think she was quite overwhelmed. she said this is going to take a while and we will start from the start and go through everything. i like her. i have a good feeling about her. also it is me, my attitude is different and for once i am going into this 100% and eager to resolve things.

i have met someone very like minded and this has taken a lot of pressure off. it feels good. do i disclose the fact i am kind of crazy? i dont think so. but it is a difficult position. what do you deppies normally do if you meet someone new????? do you explain that you suffer depression and you might be an a-hole sometimes? otherwise it feels a bit like entrapment. maybe this person doesnt want to sign up to deal with me. maybe i am just over thinking things as per usual.

anyway, apart from being super angry that kevin rudd turned out to be a prick (if u didnt know he PROMISED not to interfere with state and territory legislation and said he would let gays have civil unions in ACT, but now he has been elected he says no) i feel ok. busy organising the beggining of studies.

i gave him my fricken vote based on that. what a piece of...

Hi Zombieluv,

Loved the quote, put a smile on my face, thank you.

As far as the new friend in your life, I think it best not to divulge too much information too soon. Let them form an opinion of you based on you and if you're having a down day and they're around the place and you just can't keep that smile on your face, then perhaps tell them you have depression and struggle at times.

Just a thought.

Really glad to read you've found a good therapist... I'm a firm believer in clicking with someone from the get go, if it doesn't feel right the first time then it's just not going to work. So great to hear that you clicked with her.

All the best,

hello,

haha :)

your new friend doesn't need to know too much straight away. Trust me people are a lot more caring than we think. But just have fun with this person after a couple of weeks you can open up.

I'm sure they will appreciate your honesty and it may give them an opportunity to open up to you too!

You are sounding positive and motivated and this is great! well done! Each success builds us up!

Great quote. Pity I don't like m and ms but the chocolate cake would be good now because I am annoying the solicitor about my case and I need a distraction.

Glad therapy went well and you feel good with this person.

As for your new friend, baby steps. Don't want to scare them off but offloading all in one hit.

Go Zombie!!!
