> Perhaps one of the most insidious things about depression is its ability to make us believe things which are not true. While the illness and the effect it has on one's brain chemistry (or resulting from chemistry gone awry) can certainly make you FEEL as if you've lost your ability to reason analytically or to express yourself verbally, it doesn't actually destroy one's talents.

Very well put! I was lying to myself as well....telling myself what an awful person I had become. And everyone around me would just tell me to cheer up. Or just quit obsessing about everything. Like I did these awful things to myself by choice. So you are absolutely right..it is chemical and when the chemicals are restored, we can get back to the work of being and finding out just who we REALLY are.
Thanks for the great post.
