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 had a good friend that seemed to hold me in high esteem, but their opinion of me seemed to changed over my struggles. I was shocked and hurt to know their true feelings. I thought they knew me better than this. I decided I couldn't be friends with someone who had such a low opinion of me. Yet if they sincerely apologized and realized they were wrong about me I would have continued the friendship. I told them I didn't think I could be friends any longer and explained why, but I did not receive an apology so I guess that is the end.
It hurts so bad to lose a friend. It hurts that my mental issues ruined a great friendship when I am trying so hard to get help.
If my ex friend is somehow out there reading: I love you and will forgive you if you realize in your heart that you were wrong about me.

Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...

I lost a friend too, due to my depression. We were very close until I started the process of my divorce. I was in such a bad place filled with anger hurt and fear. She couldn't handle it I suppose. It hurt a great deal.
By the Grace of God, I had other friends and stepped up and supported me through my roughest periods as well as "yell" at me when I needed tough love.
I have also been graced with new friends since her departure from my life. I have learned so many things about myself. I am glad you feel you deserve better than to be around someone ho doesn't believe in you.

Unlike you, I don't know what to say to help very much. I am not good with words. That is probably why I don't have many friends that I see. I know that it stinks to know someone you love is hurting you. I give you credit for ending the relationship for now. I would probably be too weak to do that.
I hope your friend realizes what they are missing and asks to renew your friendship. A huge part of my issues are fear of hurting the ones I love. We just have to fight the fight and get better
I decided I am going to let this fuel me to prove the negative thoughts of me wrong.
If they no longer want a caring, loving, supportive, loyal friend that tried to lift them up it is their loss.
