Glen 53, it's not weak at all really, regardless of gender. But I agree that for men there's a different social expectation.
Even though I know it's not about weakness.... I just can't help feeling humiliated.
And yes, the wish to improve my condition was greater because I knew if I went I would cry.
Thanks for sharing.x

I cried in the surgery this week and I'm a big 'I don't cry' person. I felt so ashamed, and ashamed that she saw me struggling to control it (which I did in the end - I think if I'd started properly I wouldn't have stopped) but maybe that's what she needed to see. We are strong yet feel weak, no wonder we get all twisted up inside. One thing I can say, you are not alone.

I could have written that post Spid, so many of the feelings and symptoms with depression seem to be the same or similar for many sufferers

I so agree, thats why this forum is so good, you know you are not alone.  As when you do feel like this you feel so alone.

Yes, there's much comfort in knowing you're not alone. I know it helps me. Thanks all. xx
