Well sure. There are times when being here is really helpful for me, and other times when it's detrimental. I would never want to speak on behalf of other posters, but it definitely gets easy to lock myself in a kind of pathological hopelessness when I spend too much time reading posts here. Sometimes just spending a few days away from the internet can be helpful. The problem is that I've spent so long like this (relatively speaking) that I'm not sure what the h*ll is left for me in life anyway. It's like stockholm syndrome.
> Personally I think over analysing our condition isn't helpful. Getting treatment and moving on with our lives is undoubtedly the best option. This site isn't great for recovery, getting out and enjoying life is. My advice to you is the same as for myself, I would say get on an add med, maybe supplement it with an nri and go get your life back. Retarded depression is no joke, its almost like being the living dead. In my case ssri's helped induce it, probably though attenuation, but it doesn't matter its a chemical imbalance, it must be fixed and life must resume.
