Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have a new kind-of-boss at work that I have considered to be the psycho villian from hell... but we managed to have some kind of meeting of the minds yesterday and I can now see her as a person with her own issues, and her own problems, and her own responsibilities.
I can see that from her perspective, I am the difficult one.
This brings it down to size. I am never trying to be difficult, I am in fact trying to do my job. Miscommunication is hell, and makes the people we miscommunicate with seem to be evil, powerful, gigantic ogres.
Be kind always to the younger women. No matter what, remain kind. See the best in them as you would your children. They will relax. This isn't a competition, but to show this you have to relax.
But in closing I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss. My father passed away from a brain tumour and he was my daddy... And people can't understand why that brings a woman in her forties to tears. Well hell. Let's hope they never have to find out the hard way.
What pisses me off is they wait 6 weeks to even say anything about it, What a bunch of whining wussies.
