Well, if you want to twist my words then I cant stop you. I did not claim you have an attitude in general. I pointed out your attitude that your medical condition is somehow worse and superior to her mental illness. We all have attitudes about one thing or another. All I did was point out the attitude you have towards people with depression, which you continue to confirm. The opinion or attitude you have is what causes the kind of stigma that people with depression face.

Not everyone's depression is the same. Just because you were more functional does not mean that others will be more functional. And you are right that I dont know what it's like to be in your shoes. And you have no idea what it's like to be in mine. But at least one of us has empathy for the other.
