Hi there. I know exactly how you feel. It feels almost insulting to hear someone compare their feelings about a typical bad day to my serious depression. You just want to say, "Take how you feel and multiply it by 10 and you'll know how I feel even when it looks like things are going fine." I've learned that people's pain is so personal that no one can truly know how anyone else feels without walking a mile in their shoes. I don't even try to explain my depression to anyone who isn't my therapist or mother at this point. No one else even comes close to getting it.
