I think it is true we can't go around wearing our feelings on our sleeve all the time in general social situations and complaining. It is true people want to be around positive happy people. I think it is very important that we have a very good support network that we can rant, vent, show ourselves in whatever state we are in, and talk openly about depression without judgement. I guess I just totally avoid people when severely depressed. Then I try to put up the good front when I am in moderate. It is a hard deal.
I just saw this on FaceBook and it is kind of a sad state of affairs.
