> oh ghost, I hope that your parents' reaction as you described is not your own feeling. Mood disorders can be absolutely disabling. If you were dealing with a chronic physical ailment, no one would make assumptions or judgements about not finishing grad school. Why should it be any different for you? We all do the best we can with what we are given to deal with everyday. Taking care of yourself is the number one priority. You have to master that in times of stress and challenges before you can master more challenging things. And that's okay. I know it sounds like Stuart Smalley, but we do the best we can. And that's okay. To heck with what others' may believe or assume.
