I'm really not sure what to say at the moment. I wasn't expecting to see this thread pop up again. Usually threads get buried and never are seen by me again. I just wanted everyone who's replied to know I read the replies.
I really wish people could be more understanding of mental illness. I know it's hard, though. I sometimes (especially lately) feel like I'm part of what is making it hard. Though... maybe that's a part of the illness itself. I don't know. I don't have the patience to evaluate it. But I do wish, at least, that there were more people who knew the right and wrong things to say.
I really hate when they put words in my mouth. I might have been guilty of that once or twice, but I try to catch myself. It can just be.. hard talking to me. And I'm aware of that. When I'm not depressed, I'm extremely irritable. And when I am depressed, nothing seems to comfort me. Sometimes, though, there is more comfort in the silence.
