Friends

Now I was thinking about this just now, I have had many friends in my life, but very rarely has anyone of them just accepted me for who I am. People want to toughen me up, make me more serious, less childish, etc

FWIW, I completely understand where you are coming from, sweetheart. :-) I friended you because I found something in you that I liked. I tend to choose people to friend either in RL or online very carefully because like yourself, I've been hurt and let down in the past

Thanks honey, its true depression and illness is hard for other people to accept. However like you have said, we cannot expect others to accept us and love us if we cannot give ourselves the same respect.

I am a very positive and fun person, but I have depression, its a wierd combination, but thats me. Thank you for being my friend

Oh, absolutely. I've always said that if a non-depressive could be plugged into our brains for an hour when we are at our lowest, then it would give them an idea of what we have to deal with 24/7.

Take care!
