I had a phone conversation with a family friend today. I always knew he was fairly blunt...but 'I know you've had mental health issues' is extremely close to the bone.
P's minimising made me reluctant to characterise my experience as 'depression'.
I'm so grateful that we don't use labels.
Thankfully, M was extremely helpful in other ways.
