You're welcome.
I have only managed to say those words a couple of times out of desparation for help.. and generally got overlooked, ignored, or laughed at anyway. So if a person doesn't generally pay attention to you about it, I have found - they won't do it even when you are blunt.

It's a very sad fact..and I'm sorry you're having that problem.

How depressed one has to be to be taken seriously?
When will peole stop with "It's the same for everyone". When will people stop trying to make one snap out of it and accept their pain?

I relate....even in the psych ward I sometimes feel like I am a fraud. That no one there will understand me - that other patients have legitimate issues, I don't.

For me it was about two years ago. I have been suffering from depression and SA since i was a little girl and one sunday afternoon i overdosed on a certain not fda approved pill. I started texting my boyfriend apparently (I don't remember a thing) and the texts alarmed him, I was telling him goodbye and to leave what little money i have left to my neices and nephews and he called my family. He said i was so physically weak that when i tried to push them away as they were taking me to the car to go to the ER, it felt like a tap from an insect or something. Everyone knew after that and my whole life i thought i could keep it a secret. It's still hard for them to understand and i still don't talk about it much but i went on medication after that.
