Glad to hear you say this, mate. You and I have talked about depression before, and sometimes it's very hard to know what to do or say to help. Especially when you're a doer, and doing nothing but listening often feels like you're not helping, and you care and you want to help.
Hardest thing to learn when dealing with someone with depression is that often it is listening that is the best move. That giving someone a safe ear to talk to can help more then anything else. I'm getting there. :)
But anyway, mostly this was just me wanting to comment and give you a little 'go you!' cheer that you are still talking about it, and giving us as your friends a chance to show you that being vulnerable doesn't mean you'll get hurt. *hugs*
