friends help: I am very confused. - Help.com

I know this isn’t technically helpful in regards to answering your question…
But I can’t believe what I just read - I relate in exactly the same way…
I feel like I’m a normal person aside from my anxiety/depression spells, and that I want help but think I’m not problematic enough to really deserve it…
So I’ll tell you one thing - at least we found out we’re not alone.
I wish I could help, because if my interpretation of your post is correct, then I know exactly how you feel…
Someone please add to this…

its prolly only a faze..
if you were really deppresed ( not saying your not..im just saying if your really really deppresesd. ) you would prolly want to kill your self and would most likely quit your jobs….if those happend then you might be in trouble…but if u ever need to just talk to someone..or just let out some anger or what not im here for you. I think that you just need to find something that makes you happy.

You know nothing of depression. I was depressed, but I never wanted to kill myself. There are lots of different kinds of depression for different situations. Some people just feel emotional pain and anguish, some people want to end life, some people want to forget they’re living. It’s different for every person.
I advise you think before you reply next time.

I know nothing of deppresion? Ive been deppresed for as long as i can remember! So dont talk to me about knowing nothing of deppresion.

I agree with saph. You don’t necessarily have to want to kill yourself or quit your jobs to be depressed. I’ve worked two jobs for over a year and I also go to school full time. I have no intentions of killing myself, but I have struggled with anorexia and being manic depressive for years. People respond to their depression differently. some people have suicidal thoughts. others stop eating and over work themselves like myself. theres no definite limit to your emotions. As for you, very confused, if you were crazy you’d think you were sane. at least you acknowledge that you’re not feeling so good about yourself lately. the advice i have for you: make some changes. if you’re not happy now, do something different. nothing is trapping you into the repetitive meaningless pattern so many people wind up living. because life has so much more than people take advantage of, usually. and im still learning about it myself.

I didnt say that to be deppresed you had to want to kill your self or quit your job! Please read my reply again and you will see that i say if that happens then you might be in trouble!

Thank for such great advice. I will try to take all of it into account. I feel like just talking to someone will really help and making changes will help to. I just feel embarrassed about talking about this with my family or friends. I feel better getting feedback from you guys tho. I have never done well being emotional around people, i always felt uncomfortable. And the only time when i was emotional around people i always felt embarrassed or scared the person away. So i try to keep that to myself. i just dont want to scare my boyfriend away by telling him this because i dont want him to think im crazy.

aww…u just need sometime to let it pass by and u’ll met a better guys!!
