The thing of it is--she has peers, or at least, she's in the ballpark, for sure. It's much, much better than it was before she moved to the GT school. It may be that she is just conflating depression with giftedness, or it may be that she still feels different even from those peers, or...? We are still trying to find a workable therapist situation.

One thing I am trying to figure out is how to discuss depression with her. I think she feels alone, frustrated, and bewildered--I get a sense of "Why me?" I'm trying to let her know that other people do also feel this way, without making it sound too dire or hopeless.
