Oct 2012

I had a period in my life where I felt that I had serious depression. I saw an ad for a support group, and called to get info. They told me that the support group was for people who:

were on meds
were not higher-functioning
or had other way serious issues

Therefore, I was not allowed to attend. This did not hurt my feelings - I realized that there were people who had it much worse than me, and I started cognitive therapy and St. John's Wort. Worked wonders.
