I know what you mean, it feels as if people just expect you to shake it off. They don't understand because they have never experienced depression to the same degree. I hate it when people don't think about what they say before they say it. I think the worst thing that somebody can tell me after they know I am struggling is, "feel better", as if I am just sick and it will just go away soon. They don't realize how difficult it is to do anything.
