> No, I was considering depression, despair (and hormones) as external.

Hm... Wish you could teach me that one. I think of those things are being internal, and therefore My Fault. I think that's the part my T is trying to teach me, but I didn't get it. I'm not sure I can get it without help, though, because I can't see how they're external? Then again, I only need to know this when I'm depressed, so that might be the problem: when I need to know that depression isn't me, I'm too distorted by depression to learn it...

This one, unfortunately, I can agree with. I never think of myself as depressed, so much as lazy, and undisciplined, and shameful, and of bad character...

Guess that's why I have to try to learn that the depression is not internal, but an external factor...
