And I feel so horrible right now that I'm crying, and my mom just walked in on me and I just let her see me cry and yelled at her to go away. This is a big deal to me because I try to never let my parents see me cry.
Depression is relatively new to me, so Idk what to do with myself.  |
Hi miharucat,
If you explain this to an ordinary person, they might not understand how much stress you had to go through because of those plans. I do know cause it's happened to me too. I know how you're feeling. I know the feeling of being trapped by an invitation like that - knowing that you'll feel terrible whether you go or not.
One thing you might think about is giving your own self a break. Here's a nice video about that that I got from festidump:
For depression, I think it really helps to understand what's actually going on in your head and why it causes problems like the problems you're feeling. You might find this to be helpful:
