So, I've got depression. Not such an uncommon thing, however I'm a counsellor. Makes it hard to work. Currently I am struggling with a range of issues - not being able to sleep, not feeling hungry, complete lack of motivation. I know these symptoms inside out, but surprisingly it has taken many years for me to accept that I might have what my patients have. I've rationalised it a hundred ways: reactions to stress, burnout, life change adjustment. But now I have had to accept that I get depressed. No damn good reason. Life can be great and then bam, I want to crash my car into a guard rail. Thyroid condition might be a contributing factor
