You don't get it unless you've got it. I could never understand why my Mom behaved the way she did, eventually committing suicide. Now I understand.

Here's the deal, they don't and won't understand until they've been through it themselves. You can talk until you're blue in the face and they still won;t get it.

They'll never understand until they've been through it. Shove that in their face

People think when you are suffering depression you are crazy, some of my community members call me names, and they think nothing good I can be able to do, my boyfriend is supportive and says he can't wait for the time I complete my teaching qualification, drive my nice car, and wonder's if they will still treat me the same way they are doing now.

All the time
