My Dad and son and my sister have all had depression.
My Dad suffered on and off
but did find ways to cope
My son has had prolly 3 kinda large events with it
like you said he has good days and bad ones/
My sister has prolly had it all her life.
she at last I think is coping threw therpy

In each of thier cases I know they needed someone to listen
Its not a pity party...
you just need to speak about it and have ppl hear you
and find ways to cope with the bad days
I hope you do there are alot of links here
Your friends should not joke about it
thats the last thing you need
