Sometimes saying "Oh Cheer up!" doesn't cut it

Now, let me preface this with: I've never been diagnosed with anything.  Like so many others, my insurance covers meds, and not the more expensive therapy, so I've opted not to seek help... for now.

I read this last night.  I've been reading the Bloggess for months now.  I follow her on Twitter.  I know she's been having a rough time.  I have seen many of my friends have a similarly rough time.

I deal with depression and anxiety too.  No where near as severely as she does.  I'm lucky that I have a partner that understands, and holds me when I need to cry.
