• (3 votes) I tried to tell my best friend that I’ve been fighting depression for the past few years, but she doesn’t get it.
  

  live simply. make lists of positive goals, no matter how high they may be. i have one genuine hobby that lets me escape from everything… but sometimes when i get in such a mood i don’t even feel it would help. helping people or volunteering is the most amazing feeling. it always always cheers me up. so even if you don’t think it would help, try it. go out and sign up for a soup kitchen or humane society. and lastly, don’t be afraid to be independent and make new friends. it’s so easy to gain happiness and a strong feeling of success after you feel you’ve gained independence.
  don’t depend on your friend to understand if he/she cannot. all you can do is explain and talk to them. worry about taking care of yourself, though it’s really hard when you feel you’re not being well understood

  i think you really needed somebody. you met someone you connect with, which is great. i don’t personally think its weird to connect with somebody of the same sex as a friend. just keep getting to know him or whatever. don’t think about it too much or you’ll end up making it weird, making it something its not.

  when you say goodnight. you’re saying goodnight to your chance of having that amazing feeling of love come back to you. you can win your girl back, or find another- though this thought may be hard. it’s funny you say that for us optimistic people, you wish we could understand you want to live like us. i understand that you say you “cannot” but is that true? didn’t you live optimistically when you were in love? just because you are heartbroken doesn’t mean the end. “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”. tomorrow, could be the best day of your life. and whether you believe me or not, your girl will be devastated when she hears you’ve taken your own life. how could you think of doing that to her? give life another chance, give it a few more days. get to a place in your life where you’ll look back in a few years and know that you almost gave up. you’ll look back and laugh and thank yourself for giving life another shot so you didn’t miss out on the amazing moments the next few years will bring you, once you get past the bad, the heartache… all of which is temporary.
  
  all in all, you got this bud. give it another chance. look up at the stars and tell yourself you can do it because you’re stronger 3

• first post so here goes, more or less the reason i made my account here.
  

  i think only time will tell. give it time. get to know her more and more but don’t push anything too fast. you have to follow your heart… not knowing what the outcome will be.
  
  everything happens for a reason.
