You came to a great place . Where most of us can relate to what you are saying.
Being depressed is horrible . It's those THOUGHTS that seem to cripple
us. Most people that don't have it don't understand what we are going
through. It's not their fault . I wish they could be better informed of
this mental illness. If someone has diabetes (for example) they know
that it is caused by high or low blood sugar. When someone is depressed
they really don't know the facts. It's all in your head (which it is).
Snap out of it , you're lazy , you're worthless . Is that what they're
really thinking , or is that what we are telling ourselves what they are
thinking? Some of them might be and some of them might not.
Should we really care what they think? The people here do care
and understand what you are saying . Hang in there .
You can learn alot here
