Cancer and Depression

Have you ever been depressed? How do you handle it? How do you want your friends to handle it?

When I get depressed I like to strip my life down to the basics and try and spend some time in a big, open natural setting. I usually don't tell my friends if I am depressed, but that could just be a Leo moon thing.

Do you draw your wall all over and rip off papers when get depressed?

The passing of my mother is still haunting ... and yes, still handling the loss since 2013. I've generally disappeared to come to terms. My Gemini sister can't see my perspective, and doesn't understand the "issues" involved. Can't deal with her verbal inquiries, abuse and insults. My Libra daughter even told her to "think about what comes out of your mouth .. if it would upset you .. don't say it to upset the other."

Sometimes friends don't want to deal with it.
I try to find things to do to take my mind off of what is troubling me.
Listening to music helps, getting out to events helps, talking to an old friend I haven't spoken to in a while helps.
