well said, b2c.
I had a friend who used to thrive on pity and would make everything (including her mental "illness") much worse than it really was. I don't typically speak to my friends about my malady because a.) it still feels like a stigma and b.) it sometimes feels crazy to discuss it with non-depressives and I don't want to burden them.
I don't speak to that "friend" any more--too much drama and she sucked the life outta me like an emotional vampire.
I'm on board w/ your advice.
