I'm sorry you're feeling lonely and isolated with your illness. I think people have a hard time understanding - they might be scared and don't know what to say or do. Unfortunately some people are shallow - meaning they're drawn to people in a good mood and shy away when people are in a bad mood. I know it's not fair and frustrating. Maybe you could tell one of the nicer people, what they could do, when you're feeling like this. I hope you feel better.

Hello Dear ((((bridgie))))

I'm really sorry that you feel so isolated and ignored. I know when you feel so bad it's important to have those who love you to show they care. We care about you and want you to know that.

Those who love us sometimes have no idea how to approach us or how to approach how we feel.

I have a partner who knows that if I am crying with depression, that all he needs to do is hold my hand; having my hand held makes such a difference to me because it phsyically lets me know that I am not alone and even though I would cry because he cares enough to hold my hand, he also knows that depression does not help us to act or think rationally so he lets me cry more while he still holds my hand.

Let us hold your hand dear bridgie,

((((hugs))))

Rhiannon
