I know I tell a lot of jokes but let me be serious for this post. Depression is a real problem for millions of people, try to keep that in mind when you talk to people. You never know who is really hurt by your words. These people are your friends, family and strangers. They are rich, poor and in between. They may be the cashier at McDonalds, the CEO of a major company, your doctor or your mechanic. It could be anyone. Ive been asked how a comedian could have depression , so let me tell you what I was told when I went into it. A comedian goes to a city usually for an entire week. They are in a town all alone, they get one hour a day to make you laugh and that is their therapy, the other 23 hours are spent alone in a hotel room. There are many other professions very similar. I have lost many friends to depression, mostly young people who only needed to know that you cared. So before you say hateful words to someone, keep in mind how that may affect them for long periods of time. Since you normally cant tell who they are do your best to be nice to everyone. Take some time once in awhile to ask a neighbor if they want to join you for some coffee or just go out of your way to say hi and how their doing. You never know when doing that may just save a life or just make someone feel wanted. And one last thing, buy lots of stuff from your Schwans man, he may not have a depression problem but he does like to have busy days. Dagnabit I almost finished a whole post without trying to make you laugh. Now go out and make someone feel special today.
