      This is well done. It’s so hard for people to understand depression if they have never experienced it, and the cruel reality is most humans have a hard time emphasizing with others when they can’t see/relate to the problem

    My depression is on hiatus at the moment, but I’m smart enough now to know that it’s not gone and will never be gone. I will enjoy my break for as long as it chooses to last, remain empathetic to my fellow sufferers, and buffer myself up for the next round.

    While we’re at it, thanks to anybody who told me to just “do a little more parenting”. Without you, I’d never thought of that!
