Could work from home even! And with so many creative BPers…. hmmm
Those cards are a hoot, Trippin'! I'd LOVE if someone would cook something that's for sure, because, like SOOO many others, I get
really bad about eating when depressed. It's "too much bother". Even something as "simple" as soup from a can. And that's why people DO such things -- because they know the others will neglect to do things like food because they're not up to it. And the same for us at such times.

So true! But we DO get it. Very much. I know so many times that I laugh (even if simply for having the feeling/experience in common) reading here sometimes. It takes a twisted sense of humor for sure. Think how popular the threads are when people talk about things they do or have done. Some aren't funny (in the traditional sense), and yet they are! Sure, they're usually about the manic end of things, but even depressed there are things are bizarrely amusing in the incongruity of the thought patterns. (For instance, I remember a time of being very depressed with near constant sui thoughts. I'd happened to notice (though not likely through showering…) that the shampoo was very low. F*** it, what's the point in buying more? Won't be needing it. But in the same timeframe, I was thinking about maybe getting a new vacuum cleaner(!) The illogical of "a few dollars not ok, but a lot of dollars, yeah, sure" didn't even strike me at the time(!))
