This is when the issue really leave their marks. When it comes to friends and family. You're depression is nothing to be ashamed of, so many suffer from it and we need to all realize it is out of our control and that we have to ride the waves as they come. I've lost so many friends (and unfortunately family members) to them misunderstanding my condition as detachment. I miss them, I miss being in their lives; I know now that it is easier to tell them that I'm not perfect then to lose them. In doing this, I've only gotten closer to the friends I still have (as opening about my problems, made it easy for them to open about theirs). I hope you can have this experience as well, as a true friend will accept you for who you are, even with the looming shadow of depression. I hope you can feel good enough to have a spectacular day still. Much love
