Plus, I just want to add, quickly:

The people who lay those choice, quick bits of advice on us, generally do not have the first clue about how complexly or profoundly our individual lives are affected by these ailments. They are either keeping it all at arms' length from themselves, because they cannot possibly grasp what you are enduring...or they are simply incapable or unwilling to examine closer what it is you are genuinely grappling with.

(In the case of my Dad, for instance, he was so pained by the realization that I had developed depression, that he simply could not get his head around it. He gave me some short-sighted but well-meant bits of advice. And, yet, still, he did ALSO offer me the most help and offers of assistance of anyone in my family. And I think he tried the hardest of anyone to TRY to understand what life was like for me on a daily basis.)

Try not to be too angry with people...it IS all extremely hard to take in...unless of course they are using this all as an excuse to abuse you, or deny you simple human rights and dignity. (Then, blast them with everything you can find at your disposal!!! And do it for all of us!!!)
