> I've learned to only talk about my depression with fellow depressives. People who haven't suffered from depression just don't get it. They're the type who say, "Everyone gets depressed now and then." They equate ordinary sadness with depression. When I've been deeply depressed, one of my sisters deals with it by either acting like a happy clown around me, or by attacking me -- "Do you have to look that way! Can't you try to cheer up!" The best thing she could do is just leave me alone.
Thanks for the post Hugh. And I'm not surprised, but there are the words again, that people who are not depressed just don't get it. I am quickly learning as well Hugh, to only talk about my suffering with other depressives. But it seems it is a hard lesson to learn.
Regarding my gallbladder, I have to have it removed but I have not done so yet. I have too many other issues going on to take the time to do that yet. And the surgeon was perfectly willing for me to wait. For now, I am simply avoiding fat as much as possible to avoid another bout of biliary colic. And thanks for sharing that info about bile salts. Tell me, do you need a prescription for bile salts, or can you get them over the counter? Thanks again Hugh, and take care.

Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
