Yep. Just adding my voice to the chorus of the deeply depressed. It is hard business. I'm impressed that some of you can get through a work day. REALLY impressed. Kudos!
Jennifer, if your mood goes up and down--that two steps forward thing you were talking about--don't be surprised or hard on yourself. It's just the nature of the beast. I know you already know that...
There is no depression like a bipolar depression and it IS very frustrating. Hugs all around.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
