I am good with hugs! *hugs back* I should get around to that 'care of me' meme sometime, I think.
Yeah, it's really pervasive - there's this whole idea, in various places, that depression/bipolar/etc. are "just" in your mind so you should be able to shake yourself back to normality. Which, I cannot say NO vehemently enough to express my disdain. Apparently it is very hard to understand! I don't know WHY.
