I have a mate from church who suffers from this. I just love having him over to talk, watch a movie or generally chirp him up. Doing this chirps me up too! Makes me feel like I am helping in some small part.
God knows I can be a depressive pain sometimes and I have no mental health issues (that I know of) (or do I?) Why am I talking to myself? I dunno Baz.
We need each other people, lets not judge, but support each other.
Baz.
