I printed this post out to share with my husband. “Here read this, especially this part about not taking me personally when it is the depression that speaks.”

“And this part about helping me reach bottom, pushing me and catching me at the same time.”

He read it all. We talked for a long time. Cody’s words helped him understand the “pit” as I call it better than five years of me trying to explain.

Tonight, at dinner, I saw the Moosh’s fabulous skirt before anything else. As we left the restaurant, I elbowed my husband and asked if he saw the beautiful girl with the ringlets and her mother. “That’s the Moosh,” I said.

“Here?” he said, turning to catch a glimpse. He didn’t realize that you all lived here, right here, in our city. “Isn’t is amazing that you found someone who can help us relate to each other who also lives right here?” he said, holding my own daughter’s hand, as we walked to the car.

I almost ran back and paid for your meal. YOU make such a difference.

Thank you.

Thank you. For saying it outloud, for “getting it”, for for not running away screaming, for taking care of her. It can’t be easy, but please believe me when I say that she (we) are worth it. Even if we dont’ believe that ourselves. Again, thank you.

[...] Cody said in his post about managing my depression that one of the biggest things he attempts to do for me when I’m sinking is to distract me, and the very best way to do that is with my camera and Photoshop (and my new crush, Lightroom.) [...]

I think the biggest problem with depression is the word “depression.” That term makes it sound like a serious, well-defined psychological condition is akin to a slight, momentary decline in an otherwise flawless surface.

If instead we called depression something like “negative debilitating mood disorder” it wouldn’t be associated with merely feeling a little sad. Depression is a real and serious commitment and requires comprehensive treatment and support. It’s hard *precisely because* so many people think it isn’t.
