I just hate having depression it just really makes it harder for me to have friends because they always say that I look fine and I should be feeling fine but I have this one friend I can't trust because they will tell everybody it which they have I wish I can just have a one real good friend

So you don't "just" have Depression. You suffer from a Mental Illness called Depression that can be very severe and have a profound negative effect on your life. What your friends think is there problem! They've not walked a mile in your shoes and they have no right to judge you for what your going through. As for the big mouth friend, just don't confide in her.

Do what's right for you, don't waste energy worried about what others think. As long as your seeking Treatment for your Depression and doing all the things you need to do to take care of yourself, that's what your supposed to be focusing on.

Take care,
Kat
