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.
Love is patient, love is kind
it does not envy
it does not boast;
it is not proud.
It is not rude;
it is not self-seeking;
it is not easily angered;
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres
Love never fails.

None of us are perfect and with sincere apologies and caring for this person's needs you may see the relationship turn around.
Be gentle with yourself -- we learn to do better and then we do better.
And don't feel like you need to hide who you are...there is only one you, nobody else can be you...why try to be something you're not? And I know, it probably feels like you WISH you could be somebody else, or thinking that 'you' is a crappy person to be. Trust me, I've been there. I'm still there at times.
But it's lies. It's all depression lies. I don't know enuogh about you to offer anything more specific, but regarding the fight with your friend...if they're a true friend, they will come around. Yeah, they might be pissed off or weirded out for a while, but if they're a true friend they will forgive whatever you might have said or done. If there's an apology in order, by all means make it...but if you were just feeling bad and acted a bit strange, explain what the deal is and...the rest is up to them. I'm pretty sure they'll be cool with it, considering you consider this person your best friend.
Peace to u
