[quote=Anonymous]I think when you’re that depressed and then start to recover that there is a low level PSTD that occurs that creates a fear that you could go back there. First of all the fact that you can now distinguish between the different levels of your feelings makes me think that you are headed in the less depressed direction. Depression is a spectrum as they say so it’s possible to be a little or more depressed. The shame is residual but needs to be dealt with because shame sees the seeds of  depression and you don’t want to give it leverage.

Any therapist should be able to help you. You’re not getting the most out of your treatment if you can’t tell you therapist. Don’t withhold something from someone who is literally there to support you. If you have a sense that you can’t trust them you need to say that. If you feel shame say that. If you no longer have the same feelings but want to dove into the guilt part say that. But say something.

It’s an awful feeling and I’m sorry you went through that. Your children and your husband are so so grateful that you were strong enough somewhere inside you to pull through. And it does take strength. Your sense of self pulled you through. Thank it. Good luck to you and be well.  [/quote]
