listen, sammi... you dont have to explain yourself to anyone in this world, ok. you have to deal with whatever you are feeling, depression or not. and if people give you a hard time over it, well thats their problem. you most certainly dont have to prove anything to anyone or to explain yourself.

concentrate on yourself, dont hide how you feel. just be true to yourself, whatever mood you may be in that day. be true to yourself and you will find things a little easier. dont ever try to be someone you think you should be, or that others want you to be because it is this that will be the life long battle that, trust me, you will not win. if people genuinely care for you they wont mind you being abit different for a while, they will know and understand that you have depression, and they will understand the moods that come with it. if they fail to see and understand it, they are to blame...not you.

keep fighting the depression, you will win over it, i assure you. just keep going. we are all here ready for you to open up to anytime you need to ok, expressing yourself is always the best key to unlocking the door that is holding you back. i promise things will get easier soon
