> It's not a contest! but your comment made me feel really put down and bad. I'm sure lots of people who said those other things meant them too and thought they were true. You know some people who have agitated depressions get TOO agitated to go to work. I'm not depressed at all now. But I know that being unable to function is more disabling than being able to function but being depressed in some other way so maybe I should rephrase that to: which proves you're not depressed LIKE I am. Thanks for proving my point tho. I feel really bad.Now I feel bad that I made you feel bad. I feel really bad. I didn't want to do that. I just wanted I guess to defend myself (even though I know you weren't even talking about me) and it was your response to the comment. I guess maybe I feel judged by people who can't get out of bed, like they're thinking "oh she's not that depressed" and you're right, it's certainly not a contest. And I certainly wouldn't want to win if it was. And I agree, being unable to function is more disabling. I don't have time to say anything else, but I just wanted to respond.
