I've recently decided to take control of my depression and to try to get on the right track. I'm so nervous and scared because some people in my family don't believe depression is a real thing and I feel constantly judged by other people but I've decided that I don't really care what these people think because they don't have to live inside my head every day and feel how I feel everyday. So I'm looking forward to trying my best to feel happy or anything again

People who don't struggle with it very commonly don't "get it". Pay them no mind. Take whatever soothing comfort they offer: leave the rest and walk on by it. Yes, it's "all in our head"....but that doesn't make it a single bit less REAL.

Glad you found PC - this is a good place. We all "get it". Keep posting. Welcome.

I agree most don't understand the severity. Hugs and what a great attitude! Keep posting

Good luck. I find a lot of people minimize my symptoms when I share and I'm not sure why - I think they are either trying to make me feel better in the only way they know how, or they just don't get it. I keep a slight distance from such people, if I can, while not totally shutting them out. I get hyper-hyper-hyper sensitive when I'm really feeling depressed so I end up being offended by any slight comment no matter how it was intended.
