Thanks for sharing @valorforfreedom,
You raise some very good points here. Many people suffer in silence with depression, simply because of the stigma associated with it. I have read many similar posts, as depression is higher as a demographic amongst people with a create flair, because our society promotes conformity, not creativity.
However, your post highlights something that I have not read in other posts, and that is, where do you go for help, when the mental health industry is a part of the controlling system.
They are quick to diagnose one of their state sanctioned labels, to make you feel better, because now, it's not a mystery. it's a known, and you're not alone. And of course they have their patented drugs to "fix" you.
As you point out though, they are in fact the enemy.
The reason that many of us have depression or anxiety, is because we recognise that the system is fucked up, and feel helpless to do anything about it. The mental health industry though is a part of this fucked up system that is designed to identify those that have "broken out" and pull them back into line with their lobotomising drugs, or to lock you away (for your own safety) when you don't want to take their drugs.
The common approach taken by the majority of people in this state, is denial.
This may work for a while, until the numbness sets in, and you become robotasised, back into the fluoridated masses, go to work, pay your taxes, vote, and keep your mouth shut.
I believe though that this system is breaking down, and time is our only ally at this point.
Peace.
