I have the same feeling. Today i told a friend of mine. Im depressed and have lots of thoughts of suicide. She told me to not feel this way. So i understand what youre talking about. She's my only real friend. She's really important to me, and thats what she told me to do. She doesnt understand it. Alot of people dont. I dont even understand it. Make them understand. Tell them, i need your support. Because think about it, if someone you care about told you this. Youd want them to be happy. Youd want that smile on their face. I know i need help, its just i need help getting help, if that makes sense. Ill try to get her to understand what im going through. I will keep you posted if you want. Because everyone needs help. We are human, humans are stronger when helping one another. Thats what i believe

good morning, i hope your today is better than your last, it makes alot of sense, because when someone i care about is not doing to well i want them to be happy. i think the thing is depressen effects people in so many different ways that when you do open up to someone you care about, about how your feeling at that moment it gets brushed off like you just need to go for a walk, lol, and its hard to see that they don't mean any harm but when your stuck everything seems like a jab. I just started therapy and the crazy thing is i pushed it off for years but when i did start therapy it has helped me put things that cause my depressen in place. I hope you do seek help and i know first hand that at first its hard but when you do over time you will feel free. Im hopeing that as i contunie with therapy that i will find me again because im still not sure where she went.

Hello. I am feeling alot better. My mind is clear for now. Yea, i agree, when youre stuck everything seems to hurt you a bit when you open up and they brush it off. But I would say thats the depression talking. I would say when youre stuck, it puts a filter on your mind. A bad filter.

I will get help. I know its gonna be difficult, its not suppose to be easy, anything easy in life is not worth it. Happiness is not suppose to be easy.

I know where she went, no where. She is still you, you replying back to me with your words tells me, that woman never left. She is speaking to me, giving words of kindness and wisdom.
So thanks your words give me strength. And i hope mine does, even if a little bit.

When people give responses like just snap out of it, it means that they don't understand what depression is because they have not experienced depression. I am happy to hear that you are in therapy. I think you will find it very beneficial and help you understand why you feel the way you do. Are you taking any medication? Now that you are getting help, I think things should improve for you. It just takes time. Feel free to message me if you want to.

Hi there, so sorry to hear you are going through so much. Many times people really have no clue about depression and comments like snap out of it, don't think about it or suggesting ways on how it will not affect them just don't help or encourage us to come out from our cave. It's quite insensitive but they are really clueless about this illness. Someone once told me I like to dig myself a big hole that I cannot climb out of it (hinting it's my fault or weakness to dig that hole).

I hope you know you are not alone and we are here to support each other and journey together. One day, hopefully, we'll be completely clear from depression. But for now, let's work hard on getting better. Take medication if it helps or seek therapy if that works better for you. But don't let depression win this battle. You are stronger than you think and more loved than you know! Be well and take care. God Bless!
