Falling Back In
I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was a freshman in high school. The only way anybody found out was because my friend at the time encouraged me to reach out to our school counselor, which when I mentioned suicidal thoughts, the counselor called my parents and from there I was forced to talk out my feelings in front of multiple adults. When we got home that day they basically claimed that I shouldn't be depressed/they don't understand why I'm depressed because my life is "good." After that is when they had me start going to therapy, which I despised every second of. Fast forward to today, I've been slowly falling back into depression the past few months and it keeps getting worse as the days go by. I always have to act like I'm happy around the people in my life because as far as they're concerned, I have no reason to be depressed. Most days I want to lay in bed and just not get up, suicidal thoughts creeping in as well. I can feel myself growing more irritable as well, usually going outside to escape the noise or listening to music on high.

I can completely see why people have been reacting to your depression that way because unfortunately most people do not know how depression works and some of them don't even try to understand it. No matter how close they are to you, when it comes to your healing process such people shouldn't be your focus. Try to spend more of your time doing things which will help you find peace and solace. Remember that what "you focus on, grows." I hope you feel better and have a good life, sending love and prayers your way :)
