I completely agree. Most people who don't suffer from it, don't understand this. My mother just always tells me to be happy... But it isn't that easy. I was diagnosed with bi-polar depression and I have very manic episodes (both highs and lows). I just posted a blog on how my husband and boys help me through not only my depression, but the hard times I am having right now! I ended the blog with information on suicide prevention for any who may need it. I will post it to the above link! Thank you for explaining this so well. You did a great job!
