Why do my friends think I'm so fucking awesome? That I'm so amazing and strong? I feel so weak all the time anymore. I'M NOT STRONG!!!! Quit saying it!!!! All I want to do right now is take off. In the middle of the night. And not come back. I hate looking and feeling so damn weak. How do I tell the ones I love the most to quit praising me? To just let me go? How do I tell them there is no way to fix what's broken in me? That its broken beyond repair? I just want the pain to go away. Will it ever just stop? Or do I have to make it stop??

Depression Can Distort Our Vision.
It Can Make Us Unable To See The Truth.
But Your Friends And Your Family Can Easily See What Is True.

You Can Be "Fixed". You Are Not Beyond Repair.
There Is Hope.

Please, Honey, Please Don't Hurt Yourself.

Sending Love

You have to have to have to work at it to make your self get better and you have to use everything that is available to you to fight this disease depreshion that means talking and getting everything out everything ....so seeing a councolour or phicatrist and going on meds and telling your doctor exactualy how you feel because that is the only way they can help you you have to understand that if someone has not been through depreshion they just do not have a clue as to what you are going through it doesent mater how you explain it to them the only thing you can do about that is bring them to the doctors with you and get them a little educated on depreshion ......I hope this helps .....and eney one who fights this desease has to be strong i have been fighting it all my life I have never been with out some leaves of depreshion but now after 50 years I can finaly say I at least want to be here I have 18 grandchildren and1comming eney day and I want to watch them grow up ........take care ......god bless .....I know you have a big heart
