> Yes, that's how I feel now, that it is a part of me, and one that I can't, and shouldn't hide. Even with medication, it still "pops up". If I fall into a depression for awhile, and can't talk to anyone, I want my friends to know it has nothing to do with them.

My therapist said last week that I should
try to be more cautious when telling a new
friend that I suffer from clinical depress-

telling an old friend that I have depression
rather than a new one.Glenn
