(((MINIME)))) you are a caring and compassionate person - from what I remember reading your mother was not - so you are not like your mum my dad had depression and I have depression from my PTSD - that does not make me like my dad - I will never be like him - but we both had the same problem - depression.

I dont know if im being clear here - I dont think anyone is angry here - I think its a good thing to discuss and thankyou for starting this thread - and as you said we can each offer our views and take away from it what we want and need to. In the end we are all here to help and support each other and to ask for help and support when we need it -

Words are just that - words - and a diagnoses is just a word - it may hurt or make us sad but its just a word and we cant change that - but we can change how we react to it - take care P7

ps can I get an invite to the wedding too - I promise I'll be good....maybe!
