In reply to Depression is not a vacation, posted by Poet on June 12, 2004, at 15:25:26
As others have already said I would love to put a post it on my forehead that says "constantly out to lunch". I find it very difficult to deal with my depression and the people who you go to for support. I believe they try to understand but they don't know how to anymore. When my husband gets frustrated he says things like "why is it that every little task is so difficult for you"? Duh! Because I am depressed. He also has become immune to my crying he thinks that someone who has been crying for so long would want stop and just be able to.
The most frustrating to me is the phone call that says what did you do today, he thinks I am on vacation every day. The stress we are under with mental illness others will never feel in their physical stress.
