Hardknock,

Truly, props to you for dismissing a girlfriend that made that crazy pills comment. It takes a lot of strength and clear thinking to reject that when one is depressed, I think. Good for you.

You aren't alone, and you are worth all the hard work you put in now to overcome this depression. It may not go away and you will encounter people who don't understand, but everyone has to deal with people who don't understand them in some way. It's ok. Just focus on being the best you can be and being who you are, and the people who are good for you will be drawn to you.

And thanks for serving our country and covering our silly aces. ;-)

Take care bro.
