Most people don't understand how those of us who suffer from depression are literally trapped by limitations.
I had this conversation with a coworker today who knows my situation.
I told her my inability to do certain things was similar to a person confined to a wheelchair. We have to contend with an external set of limitations... not something internal that we can flip a switch and change.
You can't tell a paraplegic, Get Up and Walk, any more than you can say to me "Just Do It."
Believe me, if I could, I would.
