Depression sucks

[Rina17]

Why do I always feel like nobody will ever actually get what I'm going through until they're in my shoes? I HATE WHEN PEOPLE JUDGE

People that have never experienced it will never understand the struggle. That's why being here helps.

This is where you see that what you feel is real because people can validate your feelings.

I've learned the friends I can talk to when I'm down. I've also learned the ones that I can't. Once you figure that out and accept it I think it's a little easier. With those people you just don't talk about it. It's not worth the stress.

Unfortunately, people are not trained or equipped to listen and handle anxiety and depression. Thank goodness for therapists.

No! people who do not suffer the way we do, cannot understand, I think out of fear of the illness they tend to judge us. So stay away from the judgmental types, talk to us here, there are thousands here who understand and are willing to help. Look out for your own well being, do not disclose your illness, just do the best you can on any given day, knowing it Will end, it always does. I wish you well, believe in yourself look to the future with belief. I send you confidence, strength, courage, peace of mind, love and hugs....Sprinkle 1......

the people who judge don't like being judged themselves being your own judge is all that matters.

Yes that is always the scenario for me too. They can never understand me! It sucks and it's annoying. They think it's only for a while that it will go away. But it's definitely not.
