I used to tell my hubby he reminded me of my father, which is a HUGE insult. Actually, they're nothing alike.

I can't remember all of the ones I sent him. But http://www.wingofmadness.com/ (credit to babble archives) has a wealth of info for the lay person. Start with http://www.wingofmadness.com/blog/feel/index.php for what it feels like. There are lists of what-to-say and what-not-to-say.

one of the quotes from what-it-feels-like:

Depression feels like you are drowning in hopelessness and self-pity. You have no energy and all you want to do is sleep. Every minute of every day, you want to cry and scream and beg for mercy, but instead you walk around and act like it's all ok. You hate yourself, and, many times, everyone around you. You begrudge others their happiness, and feel guilty about it. You feel ugly, unloveable, and desperate for reassurance that your life is worth something. You think about suicide constantly- it's a thought thats always there in the back of your mind. You dread the future, for you know it can only bring more misery, despair, and failure. You are desperate for people to like you, but are convinced that they don't. You can have fun, and there are small victories, but at the end of the day the depression is always there. You take a thousand risks, not caring what may result from them. You do things you are ashamed of but repeat your actions over and over in a hopeless cycle. Overall, everything- your past, your present, your future- all is black, and all you can do is pray that if there is a God, he will let you die instead of living day after day feeling as though you are already dead.


Good luck and please let us know how things are going.
