I dunno what "having a go" means. I do know what depression is like, because I have recently (last 1-2 weeks) emerged from yet another bout. (Thank you, Effexor.) I don't believe I once said anything about "just getting over it." I was listing things that help me when I am having a depressive episode. If they don't help you, that's fine; I don't expect they'll help everybody. But it sure seemed like I was being told "nobody asked you for your advice" when in fact that's what the thread was about, asking for advice, as I pointed out.

I know that depressed people often get very snippy with others (I know I do), and maybe that is what is happening here.

Peace and healing to all who suffer from this affliction.
