Yup to all of the above. It's ridiculous that we are the ones with the disorder, yet the stigma makes those who do not have it, or any other mental illness, feel as though they have some major understanding of it and use it passively when they're sad. "God, I am depressed I can't go shopping today." I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that. It's pathetic. If that is what depression is, please, feel free to trade with me.
