Does anyone ever feel like they're bringing on their illness by themselves or told that they are?

Awwww!!! Lisa,

Absolutely would not allow it, Depression is caused from a chemical imbalance, the ignorant need 2 be educated & that's why I get so chuffed wen our elite athletes here in OZ stand up 2 the plate & say I'm existing wif this horrible illness. Ive lost one friend & her clan due 2 this insidious pesky critter BUT I will not allow ignorant ppl 2 tell me ive sumhow imagined this & I hav sum sort of power 2 manifest it in2 a reality.

Ive ranted enuf, hope ur new venture is going grt guns!!!

Toodles MOO :)
