I've had people tell me "it's okay, I know how you feel but go to bed and get some sleep and tomorrow will be better I promise". I have problems sleeping and right from there that "advice" meant nothing to me. It doesn't go away over night. But the one response that sent me over the top was "you're being a tad bit dramatic". I had to ignore the person for a day before I could calmly reply and not freak out. I'm still not too happy and can barely say anything without being rude and mean. The ignorant responses makes me feel like it's all me. I'm the problem. I'm weak and pathetic. It makes me so angry and put myself down even more. It's that entire scenario that has made me join this site. I hope to find people who do understand and won't be so clueless and ignorant
I`m sure you will find what you`re looking for here, I`ve found people on here are understanding and supportive, and I can let off steam here without being told "there, there" or being judged. Regards Dionysius.

People say the darndest things.

When I was in my severe and years long depression my nurse said there is no such thing as depression. We make it up so we can chase people around and do things for us and give us money. I explained calmly, shortly and in a soft tone of voice to my doc I had a strong death wish and she laughed at me. I had never dared talking about anything real with her but she laughed and said I did not feel like that, I was just being overly dramatic. The same doc also suggested I'd just go back to how I was before I became depressed.

I've heard most of the stuff people say. I will not claim I know everything about everything, but at least if I don't know how something feels I can admit that.
