Someone out there

[GoodDay8881]

Hi, I have always considered myself to be a happy person, but these past 2 months have been really tough. I have discovered I look for things I don’t have in other people, specially in my romantic relationships, but I usually fail to find that love within me.

My boyfriend doesn’t understand how I feel, and reinforces the things I hate about myself. He makes me feel guilty for not being okay and I know he doesn’t do it on purpose, but this is just too much. I told him I think I might be depressed and he said “NO, there’s no way! I would never put you in that category. You are a happy person”. But what if right now I’m not? And what category is he talking about?

I guess I don’t need advice. I just need to feel I’m not crazy, and that I’m not alone in this strange feeling. It’s been really difficult for me to ask for help and I want to just shut down from all the people. I have cried more than I have cried in my entire life and I’m worried about my mental health. I really don’t know what’s happening to me.

I send lots of love to all the people out there who are experiencing something similar.

Hey. You’re not crazy. This is a difficult time for a lot of people trying to deal with a stressful situation. It can be hard for people to understand depression/anxiety because it’s not as obvious as a physical health issue. People can see a limp but we seldom show people tears or sadness. Having emotions or feeling sad does not make you any less of a person. Hang in there.
