disorder... and personal insight from someone struggling with it every day.
There are many of us out there and we understand each other but not everyone else
understands US.. there are good clubs and some good websites dealing with this
problem, many support groups full of good people who do understand.
It's not a "mood" we can "snap out of", and it doesn't mean we're "crazy" or
"dangerous", irresponsible or lazy. It just means we were dealt something in life that
we have to work hard to live with, and make our loved ones understand as well.
Sometimes it's hard for us to concentrate or to maintain a conversation. I know I
experience this at least once every day.
The dark thoughts we have are not our minds slipping away... although not everyone
understands them.
The hardest part of all is knowing that we've passed this on to at least one of our
children.

book and post your own insights.
