I started attending a depression and bipolar support group when I was in that horrible depressive episode back in April. For the most part it's been really awesome and I've found it to be very helpful for the mood side of things.

Tonight though, oh my ****.

Someone started going on and on about how people with mood disorders are special because they're oh so empathetic and are oh so connected to the suffering of others.

It took everything I had not to lose my **** and tell this person off and inform him that not everyone with a mood disorder is an empathy addict.

I just, **** really?

*sigh*
