It's bad enough when people who don't understand clinical depression judge and/or put that woman down, but I expect a higher level of understanding and compassion, and less judgement, here.

Imapatient, AAAAA gave her opinion on this woman. After all you did post it. Nothing personal, but your twisting this into you. I read all of AAAAA's post, and she has NOT said anything bad about you. Just because she see's things differently doesn't mean blow up on her. I haven't seen AAAAA judge up. Actually I see the opposite.

I am sorry but I do not understand the above comment. From judging someone else's struggle or life upon a photo - the woman from facebook - it has started all! Although each of us got more or less upset by AAAAA's comments (twisting this into us!) she could reflect, think more about the below sentences and appreciate if her opinions aren't somehow judgments - as we all did it here too. Sorry for thinking-judging, showing again my opinion, about her comments that support invading someone else's privacy under the idea that one must not smile if she is depressed and therefore the medical health personnel was wrong when assessed that.
The idea that someone can't go on a holiday and have the worst time inside while trying to "
put on a happy face and pretend with the best of them"( too) it's contradicted quite by her AAAAA! What's worrying me is AAAAA's final words. Something is happening with her - but yes, we shouldn't attract her the attention in such a way. I just snapped out as she did too! I am not a saint! I have felt quite very bad, after reading her comments, just for still existing and smiling, joking... while in depression.
Although we are "
similiar in many many ways." we are also different in so many ways and I could hardly say "
I completely understand what you are saying"
I would like to be corrected in the same way when I make remarks that look strange, that's why we are here (?):
If she was able to travel, go out and socialize, why was she unable to work?
I was unable to eat, shower or do any of the "normal" everyday things that
people take for granted.
there's no way that
I would have been able to do the things she's caught on camera.
Perhaps it's my work ethic, upbringing, or just my own personal belief system but if I'm healthy enough for a vacation, I'm healthy enough to haul my butt to work.
Y
ou're jumping to the conclusion that I base my opinion on how she looks in a few photos that is just not the case, it's the actions, ie the ability to travel to another destination. This is not someplace she had to go, she chose to.
I have no control over how the question "if she can go on vacation, why can't she work" strikes you
, but it is a legitimate question.
feel resentment that billions of people every day are able to do all of these things without a thought. And these are my good days.
I'm not being judgemental,
I'm angry and jealous.
I do apologize and send this and this to AAAAA
and to that woman from facebook who might be on the site and wants to see how people look at her after that story, this:
