What I hate the most is when people tell me I'll feel better when winter is over and it's warm out again. People seem to assume that just because I'm depressed it must be seasonal and when I tell them in no uncertain terms that it is NOT seasonal, they don't always respond so well. But I am not going to respond to their need for a simple solution by trying to accommodate them. Sometimes life is messy and it's darned near impossible to get yourself together and there isn't an easy fix. Tough cookies if it's uncomfortable or inconvenient. It is what it is. I like TheOriginalMe's suggestion of saying "If you've never been there, you really won't understand what I'm saying." Hang in there. We get what you're going through. I hope you find the support you need from your friends and family.
