I feel the same way most of the time. My husband keeps telling me that I have nothing to be depressed about.

This is actually a big problem I've always had. And I beat myself over the head with it for years. comparing myself to people who really had something to be upset over and making myself worse because I could never get out of the hole.

My last job was a strange thing. It was a therapeutic riding place and we dealt with everything, mental, physical or emotional difficulties of all kinds. Half my staff had issues with one thing or another. So you'd think this would be an ok place to tell the boss that i was seeing someone for depression.

She was fine at first but a couple months later, we were having a 'discussion' and she said I was plenty old enough, I should just suck it up and get on. And that my 'little wednesday person' needed to talk about something I don't remember now. That really did a number for a couple days! Why on earth, if it was something I could just 'grow out of' wouldn't I have done that years ago?!?! I'm still mad thinking about that one.

And you'd think, with the background of the place, they of all people would understand something like depression! Hell, working there did really bring a lot of it to a head again and got me to go do something about it finally! That just taught me that it's really not safe to talk about that stuff with most folks.
