Hello there. :] I agree with you. Some of my friends, even though I know that they're trying to help out and all, they'll say things like "Just be happy... Don't think that way..." or anything else remotely similar to that causes me to be distressed and guilty. Some even deliberately make me feel guilty of being depressed and that feeling like that isn't "normal." So now I not only am I feel sad, I feel like an outcast. I wish my friends could have a better understanding of what I'm going through rather just tell me "don't feel that or don't do this."
