Depression and anxiety

 
NHS Doctor..
“Do you think you may have depression?”
Me;  
“Er.. No”.
 
“Have you ever suffered from depression? “
“No”.
“Have you ever had low moods?”
“No”..  
“ Oh..Well maybe when my Dad died in 2001, but something happened so that I knew he was OK”..  
 
From that The NHS diagnosed me with depression and for the next few months in 2019 I Was bombarded by emails and letters from social services asking if I had low moods and whether or not I would be open to joining a weekly walking group that consisted of people with anxiety and depression..
 
 I , politely stated, they go away and that I was not interested in any "weeping as you walk" social group..  
 
Obviously, as you probably would have guessed, I inserted a few f’s, c’s and q’s.
 
So people I do not suffer depression, nor ever have.. I am quite aggressive about this fact because I simply have no empathy for those with this disorder.
 
As for anxiety…
May remind you who I took on..
