I tried to tell some of my so called "friends" that i'm not feeling alright, i have severe depression. I've been going to counseling for several months. the only response i got was, oh sorry that's bad. nothing else that's yet. i'm so disappointed for all the responses i got from few people. and now i'm even scared to tell other people i have severe depression, because they will reject me. but actually i don't care anymore. most people think i isolated myself from them. thank god the counselor listens to me. i'm trying to meet completely different people, new people. i admitted to my old friend, i'm mentally ill, what kind of friend says "i don't know what to say that's bad" to someone suffering from depression. When i recover, i won't talk to these people again. I would like to be an advocate one day and help others who are suffering from depression. so painful to endure.
