    Using the word "your" when you should use "you're" should be on that list.

    After reading the chart, I'm really concerned about Byrnzie. :D

    Seriously though, when you get in a slump and things start to become too much it's easy to see how it snowballs and can really effect people. It's also easy to see it being written off by many as someone just being a jerk. You really need good people around you to help you notice the changes in yourself. Can wake you up and help you get past it. Without others there to help, it'd be pretty difficult to do on your own.

    it is difficult... what you dont need is people telling you to suck it up or come on dude/dudette youre getting this bent out of shape over a chick/guy. or my personal favourite... you should go for a walk, clear your head. yeah thanks for that. :roll:

    i think people are scared of depression, especially when it happens to someone they always saw as strong. tis as if theyre thinking,if this can happen to bob/mary/whoever then it can happen to them. its a scary thing cause sometimes youve only got the word of the depressed person that theyre doing ok or better and it may be months or even longer before you can feel 'safe' for them. and then you might find yourself checking what you say to them cause youre worried itll cause them to fall back down.

    So am I. :)

    I think the only category I don't fit is the status conscious part.

    that is exactly what it means. people who are less status conscious will settle for whatever/whoever they can get, while overly status conscious people tend to go for the best of everything, whether they can get it or not..

    i think part of it for me was worrying and stressing over things that i could not control. as someone who likes to try to control my life and destiny as much as possible, these things were out of my control and the hits just kept coming one after the other to the point where i did not know what to do. i just wanted out. a lot of people wrote it off as "gimme being gimme", which of course was not helpful. it took my friend whoo was visiting from phoenix and my cousin who was visiting from texas this time last year to both sit me down and say "dude what the fuck is wrong with you?" i had no told them anything prior to that. they had noticed me sliding and showing most of the symptoms and confronted me about it. it was ironic because i see these people maybe 4 nights a year and they were able to detect it better than the people i run with 3-4 days a week...my normal friends that i see all the time wrote it off. kind of like the ostrich syndrome, if they don't see it or recognize it, it didn't exist. without help from a handful of people i don't know where i would be today or what condition i would be in.
