Most of those statements come from people that don't know what depression is like. No one can understand depression unless they've experienced it. Since the depression has complete control, it's pretty hard to expect any person to take those suggestions to heart and use them effectively.

After having so many health problems this year, I have been really down in the dumps. I don't think it was clinical depression but I don't know. One of the hardest things I have to cope with is seeing people doing normal every day things. While watching them, I knew I wasn't able to even walk on both legs. Who wants to watch people walk and run when they can't stand up?
During this year, I heard a few of those statements from some people and they cut like a knife.

I'm a firm believer in, "What goes around comes around". People saying those things could experience it themselves some day.

Thanks for posting that, Candace. I read the other list as well. I am happy to say that mostly what I heard came from the "Best" list.
