Depressed

[Ames09]

I have friends per say but they’re not close and i would want them to be close but i am just too depressed all i have are negative things to say. So i can’t try and get close to them now even if i desperately want to keep them in my life but because i have been dealing with depression for so long i feel like they’re just going to get sick of that. I feel like it’s a vicious cycle that I’m stuck in and will never get out of being depressed because i do want friends & a life and I feel like that will get me out of depression but it’s a double Mlezvi edge sword

Depression is not only hard to deal with personally but it dies make relationships difficult to sustain sometimes. My advice would be not to isolate yourself from others I think that can make you feel worse. If you are having a bad it alright to say that. If your day is ok you could try asking your friends how they are doing. Are you getting some help to deal with your depression? Best wishes

I'm sorry Ames09, it's a very hard thing to deal with when you worry how people will or will not understand those of us with depression. I think good friends will be more understanding, and if they are not, then you don't need to blame yourself for their short sightedness..it's not your fault. Your doing your best, your a survivor. I wanted to know if you were in therapy, do you take meds., or are you on alternative methods to help with your depression. I'm glad your here and able to be yourself, we don't judge, we just listen, we understand, we all have our own stuff...these are nice people here.
