I know how you feel when you have people trying to tell you how you feel. I too are dealing with "secret depression." I always get I just want attention or that nothing is wrong with me. My friend at school always telling me that I have nothing to be stressed about, but she knows nothing about my personal life. People who do know always trying to tell me to just let it go or I should be over the things I've never really dealt with. I even had someone imply that I didn't have "real" problems.

I just wanted to let you know that I understand how you feel...you're not alone. Hang in there, hopefully you find someone who wants to genuinely help you dig deep instead of scratching the surface of your issues or assuming that you are ok.

Hope your son gets better & that you try your best to push pass the Depression. It's hard but you deserve genuine happiness & most of all peace. Take Care
