10 Things to Say and 10 Not to Say to Someone With Depression - depression - Health.com

We just COULDN'T HELP OURSELVES! You have GOT to read the things NOT TO SAY

to people with depression because:

1. We have heard them all!

2. Chances are, you have, too!

3. They are tragically hilarious!

4. Goes to prove some our closest

friends really DON'T HAVE A CLUE!

5. It's just too STUPIS not to share because

we have so many loved ones suffering with

depression who continue to be shocked upon

hearing their OWN DOCTORS 

actually saying these things the most!

6. You are not alone....(see #7)

7. Unless: those people saying this are your family,

friends, doctors, health care professionals,

or companion animals. If so, you are alone.

8. So get a guinea pig, all they say is: WHEEK!

SO YOU'RE DEPRESSED? THEY THROW

US IN FRYING PANS IN THE ANDES AND

EAT US FOR DINNER, TRY BEING A CAVY!

9. Guinea pigs are very understanding.

GAG.

10. GAG.

not really. but those muddy, muddy woods is where we lived for ten
years before moving into town and MollyWood! We remember
everybody asking mom after a mountain bike-ride through there
why she got mud splattered all over her back and she'd go: "Huh?
Can't see my back. Really?" then she'd go to town covered in mud.
Mud she could not see. Everyone else could. That's the beauty of
Bellingham: mud, sea, snow: if it's "on you" you is a LOCAL!

O.K. NOT THAT BAD IN MAY,

but the music from one of our favorite

artists in the whole world, George Winston,

so we including it in our Homage to Home...in May.

Mt. Baker, our resident Volcano just 55 miles East o'here
does hold the record for "Most Snowfall in the World."
That true. Don't seem like they gonna be plowing THAT
road to "Artist Point" anytime soon this year, either.

We loves it here. We just don't always remember WHY!
