I got tired of thinking and speculating whether things I say will hurt or not, especially with a life of mild depression.
So I start using my senses more than my conscious thoughts and just say what appears in my mind. It's a change I'm going through, and I sometimes worry it may have a negative impact on people, especially long-time friends. |

Do your friends know that you have mild depression?

Speculating about what to say or not say is very tiring I agree. That's why I gave up doing it. I try to say what I mean and speak from the heart.
Yes, sometimes what I say may offend someone or hurt their feelings. At that point I examine what I said. I may have been unkind and if so I apologize. However, sometimes what I said plucked a nerve or sore spot in another person. There is nothing I can do about that. It's really impossible to never offend someone without turning into an emotional doormat.

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