thanks babysteps 09.....your right most people that don't suffer from depression don't understand and it isn't their fault. I wish also they could be better informed. I know they mean well and all, but when they say go to the gym or go by an outfit. What they don't realize is how HARD it is to actually do those things. I would love to go to the gym, but can't seem to get there. You are right the people here are great! I was shy at first and scared, but am seeing that everyone understands and or can relate one way or the other. I have one person that I'm close with that I can talk to and that understands because he is going through it also. I can't even say how nice it has been to have that, but he is also married and I can't turn to him all the time and i'm trying not to but besides here he is the only one I can go to.
Thanks everyone

Being depressed is horrible . It's those THOUGHTS that seem to cripple
us. Most people that don't have it don't understand what we are going
through. It's not their fault . I wish they could be better informed of
this mental illness. If someone has diabetes (for example) they know
that it is caused by high or low blood sugar. When someone is depressed
they really don't know the facts. It's all in your head (which it is).
Snap out of it , you're lazy , you're worthless . Is that what they're
really thinking , or is that what we are telling ourselves what they are
thinking? Some of them might be and some of them might not.
Should we really care what they think? The people here do care
and understand what you are saying . Hang in there .
