Does anybody else here have dysthymia?!

I have been dysthymic for most of my life as well!.
I have found that this has turned into major depression quite a number of times leading to my going inpatient to be stabilized!.
Keep going to therapy and taking medication!.
Try to keep yourself busy!.
Save any analyzing for your therapy appointments!.
I try not to allow myself to cry alone!.
See your friends regularly!.
Have plans to look forward to!.
Don't think about the future very often!. This can get you down!.
I hope this helps!. Best Wishes to you!.

OK, I hadn't heard of this until now, but I'd say I've had it since I was about 6 years old!. I've been on antidepressants since I was about 30 and never understood why I've always been tired, never been able to work up enthusiasm for anything, and feel like I'm worth nothing even though the medication does dispell the feelings of hopelessness!. Of course this is just self-diagnosis and I may be wrong, but it sure sounds like me!Www@Answer-Health@Com
