It's been a bad week, in terms of the depression thing. I'm just at a point where I'm afraid to talk about it. I finally let my mother in on the severity of it, and she immediately went into I JUST WANT TO FIX IT mode. And she knows she did, and she knows she can't. BUT OMG IS THERE ANYTHING SHE CAN DO TO FIX IT? NO REALLY, IS THERE? I've made

I've actually been worried about you, and am glad that you posted. I'm sorry things are so rough now - we'll be waiting when you're ready.

My mom and dad did the same thing when I told them how bad my depression was, too. If you need to take a break, take a break -- although I found my internet-activities soothing and ritualistic.

I know it's hardest to talk about depression when you're in the deepest throes of it. I wish you relief as soon as possible, and I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Yeah, we're not going anywhere. Relax, we CAN get your own news - I think most of us are here for your fun spin on things, and we can wait for that until you feel better again!

On a personal note, the way you talk about depression, or try to, makes perfect sense to me. I hope you get back to having energy and feeling content again soon.

Husband has been in "HERE LET ME FIX IT" mode since my depression took a hard jerk south last week. And I've been going through the whole talking-about-it-makes-it-sound-way-worse-than-it-is-and-it's-already-pretty-fucking-bad thing, too. Just talk about it however you need to. It's your space, after all.

This. So very, very this.

I was trying to think of how to say exactly this, and you said it better than I could have.
