I don't really know what to post here. I'm new though. I've had depression for four years and nobody really gets it, not my boyfriend or what few friends I've managed to maintain over the past years, not my parents, nobody. It sucks. I've found solace in photography and technical theatre which are two of my passions but lately I've found that I have no energy for either of them. I'm so apathetic about everything. It should really affect me more but all I do is cry and sleep. I just hope this app can help me out a bit I guess
@retrocal Welcome to 7 Cups. You're not alone in not having energy to do even the things you're interested in. I totally relate to that. Depression is so difficult because those who don't have it really can't understand. Many of them try, but until you've been there, you don't understand. When I explain to someone how I'm feeling and thinking, my rational mind tells me that I'm just silly for knowing so much about depression and not doing everything I know to do to "snap out of it" like some people tell me to do. I hate when they say to just snap out of it. As if I really *want* to feel this way. Right...
Know that you can always come and talk here and that there will be someone who knows and understands and is willing to listen and discuss.
