Depression doesn't care you "don't have it bad."

Could depression, as well as other diagnoses and "I don't like the politics of Health Care", have something to do with it?
Depression can take all the blessings in the world and absolutely negate their emotional impact.

And what's wrong with that? This is PsychCentral after all.

Elysium, do you have any secure time or space in your day or week when/where you don't have to lie to yourself or anyone else?

Here's the irony: were you to go away, the ones who really care would then be obvious. But, being gone, you would never know it. I will tell you, others here at PC have and will tell you how much you mean to us. If we cyber-phantoms would grieve your absence, how much more would flesh-and-blood others grieve?
