There are many phases and cycles of Depression. My question to all of you is what is it that bothers you the most, the sadness, the loneliness, the loss of energy, the feeling of isolation? What is it? Let's have some input from some of you out there. I know there are some who feel they are the only ones who feel like they do.

The most depressing thing that bothers me with "What is it about Depression that Bothers you the Most?" would be when I'm told to just snap out of it, quit being that way, or just not being able to get out of a situation when the feeling comes in from out of the wild with out any type of warning before I'm in the situation that I would so enjoy if what ever it is that makes me feel ... depressed sets in. i have suffered with depression (that I can relate too) sense I was a preteen and disappointed for no reason I was able to figure out. It wasn't until a situation had happened in high school that I'd looked into , why. then I was able to see back in my life, the difference there is in my facial and body stance that others could see that I had never noticed before. Only I realized I could fake my way out of a situation while there was time to escape before I ruined the atmosphere going on. I still yet too this day am looking for the answer. I so wish I could just shake it like people tell me! I've missed out on so much. Now with my physical disability I'm unable to do what I enjoyed most ( which is showing having done a project when the job is completed with all the tricks added). I feel worthless now than when depression would set in. Some people don't understand how simple things can be as I try to talk them through it.

I can relate to so much of what everyone has written here.

The worst part of depression for me is the shame and guilt. The feeling that if I just tried harder I could get over myself and get better. Meanwhile, I know this isn't true. I know that depression is real and am in treatment. But the negative thoughts and shame get me. I feel like I'm less than other people. How do they get out of bed and do things every day? Why don't I care about doing things? And since I don't and want to sleep and often do, things in my daily life get worse. I feel trapped. How am I going to dig myself out of this hole I'm in???

The part I hate most is when I feel like no one understands me and people tell me to be happy and stop being sad. They don't understand.
