Don't be sorry. It's alright, really. At least, it enabled me to write this post :)
Yeah, I agree. Most people can't really understand what it is like to live with these conditions. Which is good for them, I guess. This can lead to extremes and people say stuff like "Well, if you are depressed, eat a grapefruit and be happy again". Yeah...how about no?
For me, it was always important to provide a realistic perspective of how these conditions can affect your own life - and that it is still possible to find ways of dealing with them without giving up.
