in which I find myself yelling at the computer screen

fuck you, BBC, fuck you

you know, for most of this article, you do a pretty good job of describing the ways in which prescribing self-help books on the NHS might be useful for people with mild to moderate depression

... IT'S A PITY YOU LEAVE OUT THE MILD TO MODERATE, ISN'T IT

AND INSTEAD

END

ON A FUCKING SELF-CONGRATULATORY BULLSHIT MESSAGE OF "PEOPLE SHOULD BOOTSTRAP THEMSELVES OUT OF DEPRESSION"

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was 21. I had been in and out of counselling since I was 15. And you think it's appropriate to suggest I need to "make an effort" to get better?

Don't you fucking dare tell me I should have been able to ~think myself happy~. Don't. You. Dare.

Indeed.

Fuck this six ways from sunday - especially that final fucking sting at the end, because that's just what we need to hear, and that the people around us need to hear to improve things for us, isn't it.

Fuckers.
