and I have seen some amazingly kind supportive feedback from total strangers.
We're talking about someone being depressed in that deep dark hole where they don't shower or do dishes or work or anything. And then they come on here and say hey I'm a sloth and filthy but I managed to wash the silverware and the glasses today. And out of the woodwork come other posters who recognize the difficulty of such tasks when one is so down.
The people on this site are wonderful cheerleaders without being pollyannas. They can offer up tremendously insightful reality checks when one is confused as to just what is reality. Again....we still haven't nailed that one down ; )
I hope you too will be able to smile and say thank you when someone tells you how wonderful a job of holding it together AND falling apart you're doing.
Keep being kind to yourself.
