I read these all and have tried to internalize them over the last week. I will try not to get too frustrated or give you useless, annoying advice, though I probably still will sometimes. It's one of those things that is really hard to understand unless you have it. Just please know that I love you, and if I ever do say/act in a way about your depression that makes you feel bad, please know that it comes from a place of 'I care and really want to help even if I'm not effective and don't entirely understand' and *NOT* from a place of 'I think you're weird/broken/abnormal and I'm trying to fix you'.

Had too much Memorial weekend, too many carbs, and too many illnesses in this house this week. Will make a post soon.

I wasn't posting it as a dig at you in any way just that I enjoyed how it explained some things I haven't been able to explain well.
