Don't just sit there...get active! Get out of where you are and be active. Go for a walk, go to the library, the shopping mall. Break the cycle of being alone! Dispel the self defeating thoughts! Talk to a counselor that you trust. Depression can live inside of us if we feed and care for it. Convert negative thoughts to think positively. You will be happy! Self esteem is the experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges on life's terms and being worthy of happiness.

He is trying to help but does not know how. He doesn't realize that it makes me feel alot worse. To me I feel like he is saying get off your *** you lazy slob and if you would just so this or that your would be cured. People don't get it and don't know how to help and get frustrated when you don't do what they think you should be doing. I have had many arguments with friends over the nature of this disease to try to get them to understand. None have ever really abandoned me but they do kinda give up on me or just leave me alone when I am depressed.
