I finally told a friend about my depression and her response was, "I think I can understand because sometimes I get sad for no reason too." I was both touched by how she was trying to understand and support me but also a little insulted that she thought depression was just "a little sad for no reason" and I was just such a wimp I needed medication and therapy for it.
What would you say to this response?
