One is disabled by depression or another condition. People around that do not have the same condition often make useless remarks, behave in a non favorable way, could be unsupportive or rude not because they do not want to help but because they do not understand our condition. One has the right to set up limits and keep one's privacy. On the other hand, dealing with somebody with depression could be greatly frustrating sometimes. I do not know if my expectations about people around me aren't too high.
