I'm not stronger than you - it's just that I don't suffer from depression. So when something terrible happens I just happen to be one of the lucky ones who can pull myself up again.

Like I said, there's a huge difference between feeling "down" and struggling with real depression and anxiety - I would never be so insensitive to say to someone who is suffering "pull yourself together" and I do understand how hard it must be sometimes.

I truly hope nobody misunderstood what I said in my last post on here!

^^^ I agree completely!

I remember the last time this subject came up, about a year ago, the sh*t hit the fan. People are so sensitive about this subject. No offense was intended by anyone, but if we can't state our opinion, it's not really a forum, is it?

Again, NO OFFENSE. We should be able to discuss it, without people getting offended, shouldn't we?
