looking around the internet for information on depression i keep reading that "reaching out" to others when i feel down is supposed to help me. but i don't understand it. if i feel sad for no real reason (theres no problem that needs fixing except my brain :P) then how will telling someone else this help me? won't it just induce people to want to avoid my whining in the future? sorry if this sounds stupid but its just really frustrating advice to me.
