Every one is different

I know two people have already mentioned depression in the last hour. But I figured I would write a little about it too, since everyone has different issues with it. And by that I mean.. there are people who can get out of bed every day and try to enjoy their days as much as possible. And eat right and work a job. Do what they love, and spend countless hours with their loved ones. Etc. But there are also people who can't. Some people can't get out of bed, no matter how long they've been sleeping/laying for. Some either don't eat enough, or eat too much. Some can't work a job, or try to but can't hold one for long. Some can no longer do what use to make them happy. Some don't want to be around others, because they don't want to be a burden. And some think about or do hurt themselves. So to assume that every person deals with the same depression, and think that it's okay to tell them how to deal with it (therapy, medication, going outside, working).. is just wrong, in my opinion. Unless you're a therapist. But even then, I don't fully agree with telling someone how to deal with it. As you aren't in their shoes or mind. And also, to say its all in someones head, or to get over it, and other things like that.. is definitely wrong. As its not in their head and not something people "get over". So really, forget how you or others deal with it, and just be friend. An ear. A shoulder to cry on. A gaint hug. A reason for them to stay alive. Take care *
