I thought of posting this in the depression forum, but thought it would be preaching to the choir. I stumbled across this at another site and love the analogy. I believe it applies to many forms of mental illness, not just depression.

When you have depression it's like it snows every day.
Some days it's only a couple of inches. It's a pain in the ***, but you still make it to work, the grocery store. Sure, maybe you skip the gym or your friend's birthday party, but it IS still snowing and who knows how bad it might get tonight. Probably better to just head home. Your friend notices, but probably just thinks you are flaky now, or kind of an a**hole.
Some days it snows a foot. You spend an hour shoveling out your driveway and are late to work. Your back and hands hurt from shoveling. You leave early because it's really coming down out there. Your boss notices.
