I have been in a long depressive episode since December. If im being completely honest, im starting to run out of hope. I just keep getting worse every single day, and i dont know what to do. I havent really told anyone about how im feeling, i lie and just say im tired because i dont want to spill my feelings, but its obvious to my friends and to my family that something is up. I have been depressed before, but not for this long, i feel the depression subside somedays and im happy, but then back to being sad. Can anyone relate to this? At all?

Sadly I can relate. I understand how you feel about not wanting to "spill your guts" to others. There are numerous reasons I feel this way. So in the end I just "deal with it".

I can relate to this very much. I get mixed episodes of BP which always results in long periods of depression. I am sorry to hear you are struggling with this. I always feel so tired having to explain to everyone how I feel, and at times many don't even seem to bat an eye at this. they just think I'll eventually snap out of this. it is so hard to make people understand. glad you reached out here. feel better and stay in touch.
