How would i like people to be supportive?
- Believe in me, don't get angry at me, hate me and then give up on me. You're just reflecting how I treat myself when you do this.
- Don't tell me how I should change and that I need to change or else. I am already my biggest critic and it makes it worse when others echo my negative sentiments to myself, doubling my sense of low-self esteem.
- Don't tell me i'm oversenstive, need to grow up, am emotional pollution or need to suck it up. These things make me feel like you don't care about how I feel, and make me feel all alone.

“In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
