Thanks for the replies! I'm so sorry to hear there are so many other people struggling with this, but it is kind of nice to know we are not alone!

@Leed - I'm totally going to tell people to go soak their head now! That's awesome!!!

@gracez - I know they are only trying to help, which is why I never get angry at someone when they ask that. If you've never gone through it, you don't know how frustrating and difficult those kinds of questions are, so I definitely don't ever hold that against someone. Sometimes, though, it still gets to you, even if you know they mean well.

@shortandcute - It's funny how some people get the cause and effect mixed up eh? For non-depressed people, if they stay home all day and don't do anything, they can get depressed. But for people who have depression, we WANT to do things, and just can't! It's really hard! I'm sorry your doctor said that to you - that's pretty insensitive. *hugs*(Oh, and awesome name, by the way!!)

@Bedobones - I'm sorry that you don't have anyone to talk to, and that it causes so much stress inside you. Is your wife supportive at all? Do you think there might be one friend you could tell, just someone you don't have to hide with? Or maybe try to find another therapist?

@hankster - That's a great response!!

@1Buster and @Clara22 - I'm sorry you are both feeling like this too. I hope things start to get better soon! *hugs from someone who understands*
