There really is such stigma attached to mental illness of any kind; always such a puzzle for me. Why not treat it like any other illness and simply talk openly about it?! My son suffers from anxiety and depression; trust me, I heard more than once how he should just get over it... because that's what people would say to someone suffering from cancer. Ugh!

Thanks for your brutal honesty. So, I realize you "have" it, but are there days, weeks better than others? When you can count on some good days especially when you're having a really shitty one?
