I apologize if I wasn't clear - Fake it till you make it is at best a temporary deal. But it is part of it. And doing something about it is going to a Doctor and getting medication, talking to friends, joining a support group, or whatever else meets your individualized needs. As far as having it? I'm 60% disabled by my experiences in the Viet Nam war. For the most part depression. That is according to the Veteran's Administration and not by my account. I'm on meds for life because it works for me as does a little faking at times. It is about choice and seeking options. And unless I am dead I have choices and options - I just have to figure a way to find and do them. I know it seems hopeless at times but you are still here and you are still making choices and you are still working on it - that is what we are supposed to do. I do enjoy this forum.
