Well -- I'm astonished and confused. (and let's not forget stupid ~sigh~)

First - I'm astonished there was any PC on earth that would/could talk to you about depression.

I thought we were SUPPOSED to control depression in our minds. Control and crush it. Yeah, go, team, go, crush that stuff.

" I've been laughing, moving, getting out of the house, and working hard at controlling the "stinkin'-thinkin'". But then he explained to me that sometimes, by focusing too much on controlling the depression instead of channeling it out, all you really accomplish is to make it more devious. " I don't understand that a bit. Seems to me that TRYING to get out and not do the stinkin-thinkin is like channeling it. What's "channeling" it? Why/how is that different/better?
I'm not making much sense, huh?

I am very sorry you're losing weight. I hope that ends soon.
