I'm fortunate that I am surrounded by colleages that work in the field, and so understand what I am going through. But I find that most of the rest of the world who have never been through it can be really insensitive even when they are trying to show that they care. My own brother tells me to my face and in emails that therapy and meds is hooey. Hello? Besides the fact that I need both for my depression, what have I spent the last four years working my tail off to be????? He's not only calling me weak for needing something, he's calling me crazy for trying to become, in his words, "a quack." Ain't families grand? And of course my dad seems to think I have been spending all this time writing a book. Dissertation, Dad, dissertation.
Whatever! End of rant.
I like Daisy's suggestion (I think it was Daisy). "Thank you for caring..." I do believe the people are trying to help in their own clueless way.
And Daisy, I love oatmeal!
