[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 216468"] Beth, you bring up a very good point. easy child thinks/says he's stupid, too. Depression really robs one of any and all self-confidence. Depression is often described as anger turned inwards. It took a few [I]years[/I] to rebuild my self-confidence after my last huge episode. It was like starting from scratch. It was so incredibly frustrating because I had spent all my adult life to get to where I had been and then had it ripped away with one episode (albeit, a long one) and had to start over. It is a fine line, but if she doesn't give herself an opportunity to have successes, it will become easier to just believe she can't. And the depressed way of thinking very quickly becomes learned behavior making it harder to undo as time goes by. [/QUOTE]
