I suffer frequently from severe depression. I try to hide it from my husband and friends, although they are not condescending, just baffled. I have a friend who recently started having major depression. All her friends and family told her, go to the gym, get out, get busy, snap out of it. I listen to her and try to empathize, because I have been there many times.

Still, after several weeks, I experienced her depression as a kind of abandonment. She was so caught up in the experience that she barely thought or asked about me. I think this is the hard part for people with MI. Others don't understand and see your problems as a kind of abandonmentand self-absorbtion. My husband says I need to stop the self pity. But that's not really what it's about when you have MI.
