What you are now having to deal with in life usually evokes what most people call "depression".
-------------------
Maybe it is depression for most people. It's not a term people just refer to. And you do not sound like a person who is cognitively stunted. At all.
Actually, I think Zonked is on to something here. Depression, yes MDD, can often be just a symptom of Axis II, especially if you've had it for years. Just like anxiety. Just like lack of motivation. Just like ahedonia. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there is no line drawn between biological and psychological depression. Maybe only in Psychobabble Land. Maybe only for you SLS, in your world. Maybe only in theory, which certainly does not match reality.
Just because doctors these days don't diagnose on the second axis doesn't mean people here don't have Axis II health problems.
Zonked, sorry to hear you are having a rough time, and sorry to sound like such a bitch but sometimes people need to wake up. I am glad your eyes are open despite everything you've gone through.
