Thoughtful Thursday - Having depression doesn't mean I'm just sad

The first time I was diagnosed with clinical depression, my response:
The doctor: Then why are you crying?
That, of course, precipitated even more sobbing. Ever since then I have had a healthy respect for the black dog and how it creeps up on one. Completely unknown. It's not something one can just snap out of - no matter how one tries.
And yes, why are we so afraid to acknowledge depression? I suspect because it's one of those "but you don't look sick" situations. Or it's "all in her head" and the embarrassment that goes with mental
unhealth.At the risk of stating the obvious, thank you for braving it and telling it like it is from the perspective of someone who is there. I know how deep you had to dig to do this.
Take care, and as I said, this is one dog you need to kick to hell and back.

I am fortunate to not truly know the feelings of depression but I do have family members who suffer with it and in a small way understand it a little but unless you battle with it I dont think one can have any idea of what it is like.
Thanks for putting together this post although I can only imagine how hard it must have been to put together, but posts like this can help family and friends of those who suffer with depression better to understand and be supportive

Here it is 5:16am and I am sending you a reply.. I am up because Multiple Sclerosis decided I needed to be... so I get what you are saying my friend. Depression is many things, and many will try to label it Know that you are not alone... and you have so many that are sending positive energy and love.
Now to try and get back to bed... never give up...
