Wow to everyone. This is an interesting thread.

Yeah, somehow I missed the standard issue bootstraps, too.

I see the anxiety my depression creates in my son. Because I am not as available--abandoning him despite my best efforts. Tough to endure that one.

I have also felt the unbearable weight of
a sibling's MI and of friends' depression. I realized at a certain point I had become too good and automatic a listener.

And my hubby is toasted right now, poor guy :(

I finally had to shut some doors on some sibs. One wanted my support 24/7, and would become abusive when 'crossed'. Also left me flat after my child was born and the real fun began. I suppose my having a child was an abandonment, sadly.

Another sib lectured from morning to night about detoxing, removing my
fillings, not being a pharma-slave. I realized that sib couldn't bear depression (bipolar l) and was always in fix-it mode. Still loves me. I decided to be blunt as a way to salvedge. Luckily, this sib can do blunt :) So, no talk of fillings or Armageddon. Pristiq is not part of the
(inevitable) totalitarian enslavement of the masses (yet), and if the world goes down, I ain't digging a fallout shelter
(back issues). So if that makes me the
canary of this wacko family, there it is.
I'll die with my feathers on. (Guess that's why I missed the bootstraps; no boots for birds.)

Humor helps me endure insensitivity,
ignorance, misunderstanding,
miscommunication. Reading this thread helps too.

MtDew, family can get soooooo sticky :(
(hugs to you)
