Depression: Ten things I LOVE about Depression

1. Everyone thinks you are either deaf, stupid or both and they tend to speak to you REALLY LOUDLY! Or .Slowly. So. You. Can. Understand…
2. With depression you either gain or lose weight but never the one you want.
3. The Medical profession either want to hug you to death or poison you.
4. Everyone thinks they can cure you “if you will only pull your socks up!”
5. The pills you take to make you better could make you commit suicide.
6. People are always surprised when you tell them you work “just like an ordinary person!”
7. Everyone thinks you’ll want to hear all about their troubles.
8. On hearing you have depression your boyfriend/ girlfriend thinks you’ll do a Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction)/ Jack Nicholson (The Shining) on him/her.
9. Everyone is surprised that your children are normal
10. Nobody thinks depression will ever happen to THEM.
