Hello everyone.
I haven’t posted in a while because I used work and watching shows as an excuse for avoiding my problems. I have a huge issue with this and it seems like it is biting me in the butt every time. I am supposed to graduate in a few days but haven’t gotten anything arranged. I know, this is really bad. My friends are all really mad at me because I have isolated myself and haven’t contacted them. They don’t understand that I am depressed or why I am. Their philosophy is to just suck it up and do what I am supposed to. I understand that they are angry and I would too; but I would be more companionate and try to help. Am I wrong? I need help in telling them what is wrong with me. How can I get them to understand when they don’t really understand depression? My family is also really angry that I haven’t gotten things arranged. They keep telling me that I should be really happy and excited because I am the first to graduate from a 4 year university. But I’m not. I could care less about it. I’m actually afraid of going to the ceremony. People will just keep asking me all these questions that I can’t deal with answering. I just need some guidance or encouragement on what to do. Thanks everyone. |

Congratulations angel,,what you have accomplished with your degree IS a wonderful thing and though your depression may be getting in the way a bit,,,at some point you will realize just how proud you should be of yourself...
I know I am... Your close friends will understand any honest description of your situation and will be humbled by your consideration and thoughfullness in sharing this with them. Just think how you would feel if one of them told you something that might be causing them shame...you probably would be touched by their trust... So I would tell them...they might actually help you in going through these next few stressfull days... I know I would... Be well, Lenny

Changes can be the # 1 thing to start depression back up imo I agree tell them how you are feeling.... If you can ask them for thier help if you can be proud of what you have done. to make it threw 4 years is great Remember to breath and just do the best you can Congrates you matter and i understand how hard change is Also its hard for other ppl to understand what you are going threw maybe if you keep posting here it will help we all understand muffy |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
