5. And the response was mine to such a question

I did not say the question is invalid but it is a very difficult question to ask for the reasons I outlined.

The big problem is that it can lead into unprofitable areas of introspection which is why giving a snap answer has, in my experience, been preferred. That experience is that people with a depressive element to their problems can over think. Outside of the "down" the snap answer highlights the deficit that the "high" produces and brings that element of the problem into focus as well.

Mine isn't a perfect response - but nothing is - we're all human and we can all benefit from friendship such as you have shown to Denninmi
