You are totally right. I apologize, I contradicted myself. I refer back to my first post here, that one reason for such depression is a feeling that you are helpless to affect anything in your life, that your experiences are what confirm that for you and that nobody comes and explains LoA to you, or that you can control and change your life by consciously using your mind and your thoughts.

It was directed at what Shamou said about sending them a stick of dynomite. It's like kicking someone when their down instead of giving them the information they need to help themselves. In January when I read about I-M and LoA on Steve's site, it made so much sense when I reflected on my life and others' lives and I felt empowered, for the first time ever, I had something to work with to help myself and I set about trying to apply it. It was
that information I needed and never had before.
Time to update: I'm in a transitional phase and am forgetting what it was like to be in that depression, so I am writing mistakes I think. I used to know better.
Also, I don't feel it's healthy for me to be writing about depression at this point, because it seems to be hindering me from what I am presently working on. I have lost touch a bit with this depressive thinking.
P.S. ZHereford--thank you
I know it's not too late--hence, I'm still here. But I'd like to trade in my mind for a new one instead - a well-functioning logical one
