Apparently, whether to try to do everything possible to help the meds do their stuff or not is indeed linked to how long one has suffered from depression and how desperate they are to do anything necessary to help themselves. I think I have a right to expect good results when I "follow directions." If the results don't come, at least I know it was nothing I caused. If you "play" you need to know you may have to "pay." Sure helps to know what really is NOT working without wondering if I have sabotaged my own success. There is a saying, if you play with a piece of coal, you can expect it will make you dirty. HOPING it won't is foolish. Even if I like to sit in the coal shed and play with coal for a few hours now and then just to FEEL NORMAL, I have no delusions that MAYBE this time it won't make me all dirty.
