Lurker...you should get a 1-900 number for "Psychic Psychiatric Evaluation"
What you stated in your follow-up is 100% on the money. My father was non-existent
(died before my Mom knew she was going to have me)
and my Mom worked full-time as well as having a business, in order
to keep us (6 kids altogether) fed and clothed. She also had depression, but of course back then that
was treated with Valium. She was diagnosed in 1997
(after she came to terms with MY depression) and she's way too normal now...almost scary.;)
My first hospitalised depression was triggered when I found out that all (90%) of
my childhood memories were made up. During a phone call with my sister, she mentioned something that had
happened when we were kids and I said that of course I wouldn't remember that, I didn't live at Mom's
with you guys until I was in my teens. I always lived with my Grandma. She told me that that wasn't true
and although I had stayed with Grandma very occassionally, I never had my own room or anything. I checked this
out with everyone (even Grandma) and it's true.
I never lived there. Yet I have VERY few memories of my
Mom's house. If I took a polygraph test and was asked where I lived
while growing up, I would have to say "At my Grandma's" Even though I know in my mind that this
isn't true...it's still true to me. Follow me? Not long after this, I started slidong down-hill
and was finally diagnosed as depressive when I landed in the hospital.
Fun, fun, fun!
That might be an interesting new thread to start..."People who made up their childhoods"...any takers??
