I share whenever I feel it's appropriate (that is I have some trust in the person's capacity to appreciate difference and the timing is right). Confiding lightens the load a bit. --As long as someone isn't going to tell me how to cure myself ;)

Dear Floating

Some family members know of my disability. At times they will make remarks such as are you still in depression. They believe it is something that just ends. Maybe for some but I tell them I am mostly in remission.

I sense a bit of anger or agitation as if I am a slaker looking as if i'm looking for attention and maybe faking an illness. I have chronic depression and will never will end without medication.

It is not a situation that I enjoy. People who are not experiencing this just do not understand. That is why for me it is a heavy and at times a lonely burden. Than God I found drugs that put me in remission. I have added Geodon and that plus the lamictal have put me in an almost full remission.

I was walking in the house today and I was amazed that I was like a normal person. I didn't feel sad and hopeless. I hope that is what most people feel like.

Do you know what I mean? Do you mind sharing your situation. I am grateful that you asked me. That is very kind and thoughtful. Deep sigh

Regards
Queen of L
