What is the thing that depression effects the most in your life?
I would say my social life. It cripples my social life and then comes social anxiety. But my depression pushed me away from the only 2 friends that I have and is distancing me very far from them now. We used to talk everyday 2 years ago and now we maybe talk 1-2 times per month. I feel I can

I'm doing so bad in school right now, I can't focus and I always doubt myself
@BiKite32
Doing bad in school compared to who? Don't set yourself unrealistic expecctations. Don't compare yourself to others. Some of the most successful people in the world didn't do 'good' in school and that didn't matter.
Nobody else can measure you. Start working on your self esteem and be proud of who you are first. Start each day with that thought and you can conquer most things. Happiness really does come from within and words are powerful so be careful when using negative ones.
Start by saying small positives, such as I will each a healthy breakfast, coffee makes me happy, I really do enjoy listening to music and these positives will start to flow to the rest of your life.
Don't compare, dont use energy worrying for the future or stressing about the past. Stand up straight take a deep breath whenever you need it and be proud.
I hate how depression takes over my brain and makes me unstable at the worst times, I have to separate myself from others because of that.
My children. My life. My husband doesn't know how to nurture me when needed and instead does the total opposite!
It affects quite a bit, but I would say my ability to be social and open up to new people and push myself forward to do important things.
I don
@JK17 It effects my family most
@MadCatter
It probably doesn't you know. It's one of the things about depression that we feel like a burden to others. But they love us and make their own choice. Think about ways you can do positive things for your family no matter how small to let them know you love them.
@JK17
I know it affects my family because I don't have sad depression. I can't easily hide my feelings behind a smile. I have angry depression and I lash out at things. My mom is my best friend and she can instantly tell these things. And I'm almost always screaming at my brother.
Not having much motivation to do anything but sit around and cry.
It makes me push people away, and I get frustrated and agry. My work at school is also not that good, so that makes me feel even worse.
My ability to enjoy my youth with the mindlessness that it should imply
