"Sometimes I wonder about this kind of 'affect,' though, i.e., related to affectation, in other words, I go in and display my symptom. Like it's somehow expected. Like I expect it, or is it really real? Is it just produced on cue"

Wendy - I've wondered the same thing. I'm always more anxious on days when I'm going to see my therapist, and not infrequently by the time I've reached her office, I'm in worse shape than I was 24 hours before. It's not a forum as suited for discussing what's good in our lives as what's wrong. I've also noticed however that even thinking about it in these terms is a trap for me. It reinforces my periodic tendency to feel that I've created (or at least am perpetuating) my depression, and that I ought to be able to will it away.
