I tend to stay on the manic side but when I do get depressed I know how vulnerable I can be. This is when it is so important to have the support I need. So, I agree that it is important whom I choose to gain this support as some may be unable to provide it to the level I need. When I don't get the support I feel worse as it seems to confirm the worthlessness I am feeling at the time. I do think that a good step back and evaluation of those we are choosing to entrust with our feelings is important to make sure the relationship is positve. Cyberspace does have its own challenges to finding these "right" relationships.
