Why is it that if someone has cancer and they aren't having a good day people "understand", but when you have depression & you aren't having a good day "that's no excuse" "Stop being so dramatic"? It's reasons like that I don't tell people I have depression. I don't want to be labeled as an attention seeker or just being thought of as being dramatic. After all just because I'm sad doesn't mean I can't do my job right? (sarcasm)
If anyone has cancer I truly feel sorry for them. I'm not saying they aren't suffering, because obviously they are. My depression can be just as debilitating as cancer, but I'm expected to get over it.
