Do you often get falsely accused of being depressed?

Been called that too.

After I had my first child the health workers called and because I was tired through lack of sleep, (yes, babies need feeding in the night lol) and because I didn't communicate much with them, they decided I was depressed. Incorrect. I was tired, I didn't know them and I didn't feel like chatting. Seems clear to me.

Same here! Mum always plays down my feelings on stuff. Like when I told her about the town near where we live that gets loads of public money for flood defences when it only benefits fifty households, she just says, "You'd think differently if it was you it was helping." I bloody hate it!

Have you given thought that you don't know what it means to be happy and unselfish?

I can relate. Mostly, I hate shopping/going to the mall. My mother always says than that if I would get something, like shoes or whatever, I would like to come. That's not true at all: I hate shopping and it's boring. I'm definitely not looking forward to it.

When you wrote ''I bloody hate it'', I immediately thought ''she's British''. And yes, I was right! On television I only hear British say ''bloody''. Never American.

No. But I am usually depressed. No-one notices.

I like shopping on my own so I can do stuff at my own pace and spend ages finding things, but shopping with other people stresses me out, and it's boring when I'm the first to run out of money (which is always even if I had the most to start with).

Really? I didn't know that! I was actually thinking a different word, but this forum doesn't let you swear so I changed it!

yes but i always have the same expression (emotions dont look real on my face) and in class i always get asked if im upset

How did that help? You were incarcerated for two years for no reason. You should be enraged.

I looked around at your recent posts and I don't see anything about this. I found:
You commented on the Black Sabbath song, "Paranoid," http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt84202.html

and elsewhere mentioned your "meltdowns."

Anyway, have you talked about that here? It makes me angry, just hearing the one-liner account. What did they say to you that justified what they did?

And another thought -- what did they charge the insurance company, and what did your parents pay directly?

I don't know. Maybe.

In truth, if what people say I feel actually made me feel, then I would probably be better off, wouldn't I? Who would need a pill when you have all these experts saying what you're actually feeling?

Anyway, have you talked about that here?

answer:yes i been talked about this before but if u gonna look that up i would use search option u cant find lot of that from recent posts

what did they charge the insurance company, and what did your parents pay directly?>in here we dont have insurances for every thing in here we have company named kela which gives u money if u have disablement or someting so we didint need to pay nothing for it

It makes me angry, just hearing the one-liner account. What did they say to you that justified what they did?>nothing they said nothing and im serious about it, all this info i know now was not able to me until i hit 18 and got some documents regarding to bussiness and comparing memories to documents made at somepoints sense


You should be enraged.>
