"...when depression comes i'm thankful that i am bipolar and not just dealing with MDD..."

B2C I know you only mean to be helpful, but this hit me the wrong way (as one who deals with MDD). I think we all can learn from each other what it's like to live a day in another's shoes. What it's like to lose something precious to us, and have to keep going anyways, in the face of difficulty that can be isolating and paralysing. One of my friends just sent me an e-mail where he writes "I also like Seligman's notion that mastery in the face of adversity is the key to mental health, rather than self-esteem." So, we must all try to support each other, so that we can achieve mastery in the face of whatever adversity our environments and our biology throw at us.
