But then in October I almost ran out of money so I had to scramble to get a job-right away. One week later I was employed and now I have been too busy working to get down. The activity and having something to do really helped. I don't think there is something that anyone could have said that would have made it easier on me. I appreciated my friends and family's concern but it didn't help in easing the depression. I look at depression like an actual disease (which it is). When I was sick with leukemia it was the same thing, I appreciated people's caring about my well-being but it sure didn't help ease the physical discomfort I was going through. I would say just let her know that you are there if she needs to talk.
