Denied by the Psychiatrist!

Denied by the Psychiatrist!

Feeling down. Just read the psychiatric evaluation, the final things I was waiting on and she apparently doesn't feel that I'm ready for this surgery. Says I suffer from anxiety and depression. Anxiety I can agree with, but I certainly don't agree with the depression part. I told her I was suprised since I don't feel depressed.She seems to think (according to her report) that I SHOULD have depression since I never received any formal treatment for the sexual abuse I received as a child or the fact that I lost a child.

Tough times in my life that have made me stronger and who I am today. Should I suffer from depression due to these issues? Whether I receive "treatment" or not, I can't change the fact that they happened. I can only allow it to make or break me. I'm not broken yet. Don't get me wrong, it took me a long time to get over each. In reality, you never get over them, but you put them in a place that will make you stronger as a person, more compassionate to others. Life's experience has made me who I am. Therapy can't change that. I like myself, enjoy myself quite a bit in healthy ways. Still not seeing the "depression" part and quite MIFFED about it!
