When I'm having a really bad day I can't function. Forget getting out of bed. When other people have a bad days they're able to trudge along and work, socialize, etc, but I can't. Until I feel better I'm pretty much useless. When I tell my parents this they don't seem to understand... they never feel *that* bad I guess. I guess they're much more resilient than I am. Nothing affects them...or if it does they never let on.
Luckily I don't feel that way too often.. but I wish I knew how to handle those days better, but I'm so overcome with emotion I can't think rationally. Those days are huge triggers too.
