[QUOTE="witzend, post: 211725, member: 99"] Personally, I don't buy into it that "depression hurts". I [i]do[/i] believe that we don't take care of ourselves when we are depressed, and that we are tense and our muscles tense up, we grind our teeth, and don't sleep properly. It's like doing anaerobic exercise 24/7. I think that we do hurt, but it's not [i]caused by[/i] the depression. And I believe that it's been an excellent excuse for doctors to refuse to diagnose and treat, or to maltreat women for decades. "Those hysterical women. There's nothing wrong with them." I'm not saying I doubt that you hurt. I know you do. I don't doubt that it's tied to your depression, just that it's a part of your depression. If that makes any sense. [/QUOTE]
