I am tired of trying to explain depression -- and have found (as many of us have, I'm sure), it doesn't serve me well. My question -- what's a useful euphanism for explaining WHY I've bowed out of several work-related and volunteer-related commitments due to depressive-illness.
I'm sorry I haven't been available to take on extra duties during the month of September due to personal illness?
I've been struggling with personal illness?
I've been battling personal illness?
Come on? There's gotta be something better than this ....
What do you guys use?
Bottom line, it's none of their frigging business -- but isn't there something more -- ahem -- more useful than this?
How do you guys work with this?
Thanks, XXX, E.
