You hear about various forms of Depression a lot through TV or friends, or just rumors around school when you're younger, but when I was diagnosed with Dysthymia I was surprised. Mainly because I had never heard of it before. No one I know has it, and I've never met anyone else who is dealing with this specific kind of depression before. I know others have to have it, of course. I just, I guess, wanna talk, compare, know I'm not alone... and just talk about it, I guess. I mean, you can only get so much with the articles and medical jargon. I actually would love to talk to people going through this too.

I hope this makes sense...
