There's a really funny AA speaker who, at one time in his life, wanted to know WHY he was an alcoholic.
He told a story of being on a sinking ship. While everyone else was headed for life rafts and swimming for safety, he wanted to stay on the ship because he had to know WHY!
It really doesn't matter why we are depressed although I've been on that ship many times asking why me as I sunk to the bottom.
I think therapy is good to hopefully help identify the roots of our illness but sometimes there just isn't a logical reason.Why me? Why not me?
