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.
That she wished she had gotten to know me before I enlisted. Before I changed. Made me wish I hadn't enlisted. So she could know what I was like before. So I could still hide behind that lie. It's so hard trying to find myself now. I don't even know where to start because I don't know who the real me is.
Give yourself some time. Discovering who we "really" are can be a lifelong process. But you'll get there, bit by bit.

Free at last to be myself
to finally jump down from the shelf
and ride the currents of the sea
the waves of opportunity
No-one to tell me "No you won't
its my decision if I do or I don't
The only thing that might upset my cart
is if no-one tells me where to start.

I'm not condemning your friend for her conversation, I'm just saying she is unaware that saying it effects you in this way because all that would have happened is she'd seen this change herself. Perhaps she'll stick around to see the next change in you because the only thing that is certain to happen IS change. Hugs and be yourself.
