Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just wanted to see if anyone can relate as I notice this happens quite often to me. I am hoping that people will still respond even though its been awhile since I have been on....
I dont really know how to explain this but its kind of like u are I being one way and instead my actions or words come out a different way. At times I feel like I am being fun to be around or being a nice person and then either a family member or my boyfriend will ask me if I am ok because I seen a little grumpy.
For example I went out today and though my mood was good but then others asked if I was okay.... That I was a bit grumpy. Then I asked what makes them think that and after listening I see their point.
Does anyone ever think they are acting as if they are in a good mood and people dont see u that way?? It makes me feel bad because at the time I dont notice my actions being lets just say grumpy then I realize how i acted and really wish I would have been different.
I appreciate any input any one has even if its just a hug

Hasnt happened to me, I put on a great show!
Body language tells people so much more than what we say, so maybe that's what they're picking up on?
Or you might have the kind of face I do...When I'm not smiling, apparently I look as though I'm about to chop somebody into little pieces with a hacksaw LMAO. Really, I get more comments to "smile" when I'm in a fine mood, but I just don't happen to be smiling. Same thing happened to both my parents so I suppose it's just another wonderful thing I've inherited (yay). :P
