>>i have tried 2 xplain to him that until u walk in some1 elses shoes-dont judge them b/c any1 who has not felt the horrid low,emptiness,and isolation that dep. and anx. can cause has no clue. I also told him id rather be "crazy" and care 4 others than be "normal" and an a**hole-take care
I agree carolina. My mil is very intolerant of any type of depression, anxiety, compulsion, etc... I pray that one day she will experience a deep depression that will help her understand just how horrid she's been to several ppl in the family. (and I'm not talking about me) she thinks she's so strong.
Anyway, I knew another woman like this. She used to always say, "why can't they just get it together and pull themselves up?! No point in dwelling on the negative! They have so much to be thankful for!" Then, she called me and told me how God had set her straight by giving her depression. She felt so bad about all the times she'd judged ppl. she had some thyroid problems that caused the depression, and I don't know if she ever was able to find a way to deal with it. I should call her.
Yep, ya have to walk in someone else's shoes before you know how it feels.
