One comment about my depression is, "Just get out and do things for others. This depression stuff is just silly!"

I have one comment made to me recently that was the very worst; and it didn't have anything to do with depression. It had to do with sexuality. A friend of mine came over to my place. He is 78 years old, much older than me. He's gay (even though he's been married for over 50 years). I only like him as a friend and that's all. He doesn't get it that I'm not attracted to him. So at one time, he made a move on me to touch me. I got right up and walked away. And then he said, "oh gee, you are really cold!" I don't like to think of myself as that, even though I am presently not successful in having a relationship. If I were attracted to someone, I would not have backed away at a moment like that.

I would say that what he said was much worse than any of the depression suggestions that I ever got!
