I know what you mean Roo. When I opened up to people about my depression it was to take the pressure off myself to fake feeling okay. That worked, or so it seemed. But then I started to receive these well intentioned, but utterly useless suggestions and inquiries from people who just don’t understand. Even then the attention was nice for awhile. Now, however, I find myself telling people I feel okay when asked, no matter how I am doing. This is not to avoid faking it but to avoid advice such as that you received.
The bottom line is . . . I JUST WANT TO FEEL GOOD!!! And the Hell with the rest of you and your comments.Greg A.
