Thank you Northerner and British Detained for your comments. My beautiful Hanna has brought the smile back to my face.
I have researched depression AT LENGTH since I developed the illness. Of course, mental illnesses are HIGHLY embarrassing - most people tend to believe either that you are 'pulling legs' or that you have become a 'loony.'
Even now - many years after the event, I find it difficult to explain to Hanna why, on some days, I don't want to hug and kiss. I know that she doesn't understand.
It is a VERY terrible illness indeed.
I apologise - I shouldn't be taking over this thread in this way.
Here's hoping none of you get wot I got!!!
