Hi I say that because I don't want to burden or bore people

[Overthought]

For me I don’t speak becuase of the judgement face to face people can’t really process what your telling them so they assume your over reacting

I’m scared to share feelings

[Itzallgood1 in reply to Hidden]

Why?

[Hidden in reply to Itzallgood1]

Mh such taboo subject and no one pin family shares feeling. Not normal for me as family strict about feelings

I too say this as people I know have had no dealings with mental health issues

Everyday. Some people will never understand!

Unless someone has actually experienced depression/anxiety, they will never truly understand what we deal with. I am very open about my struggles but don't expect most to understand. It may be a part of who we are but doesn't define us.
