Is it just me or does anyone else get any flak from "meaningful others!?"

I have been called everything from a "gibbering wreck" to supposedly causing depression in my other half. I don't think he knows what depression is GRRRRRR! This type of comment hurts alot. Do people not realise that we are ILL?!

OK I've mouthed off enough. Lol

I think most people who suffer get this flak. I know I do though my hubby has started to engage with my illness which is a huge relief.

i had alot of problems with my family for many months and it broke my heart when my family would have ago at me when i failed at something. but now they really have accepted whats going on and are much more supportive i dont think theyll ever fully understand but they are so much better. its sad when this happens and can make people feel very lonely and if you have nobody to turn too it can make you feel so much more depressed. thanks to the people on this site though i realised i am not alone. and i think it must be hard for our families to understand if they have never been through it themselves. take care x
