...when people try to "encourage" you out of your depression? They make all these suggestions and act like doing all those things are SO easy....but then they don't do anything to HELP you do those things.

...when people have the nerve to ask you why you are depressed? In my case, recent events would make it obvious....but I've been depressed since high school...hell if I know why!

...when people think that all you have to do is smile and that will make everything wrong right?


Anything else you guys just *love*

(and yes, I'm being sarcastic)

I got asked why I was depressed twice today. :/
I usually say that I suffer from depression because people now say that they're depressed when they're just sad. Still, it doesn't do much help.

Really love it when people seem to get angry at you for being depressed. Like you are a burden on them. Makes me feel oh so much better!

My X MIL who is one of the people on this planet I dislike the most, told me, when she gets depressed, she just gets up and does something...... yeah, like I just sit around and watch TV all day....well, I do now, but that wasn't me then...it was right after my son committed suicide in her house....talk about denial!!!

I love when people say "You just have to get up and do stuff! Don't think about doing it, just do it."

First off, if your philosophy is a damn sneaker ad, you need a life more than I do. Secondly, it's not that easy...especially when it's someone who's never experienced depression and if there's no one there to help you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
