I just want to thank all of you for posting to me. I got a lot of information out of them, particularly that it really *is* a support vs. solution type thing. I just want support and they want to fix it, which is a form of support, of course.
I also read a great description of depression for someone who's never experienced it. Imagine being sick in bed for a couple of weeks with the flu and you don't want to eat, don't want to sit up, and just plain feel miserable. *That* is similar to depression. And when I was at my worst, that was so true. Getting out of bed and getting a shower when depressed, just like when I'm physicially sick, is a huge accomplishment and takes about the same amount of energy for me.
Thanks!
Susan
