How can I stop letting my depression make me feel like a burden to others?

You can prevent feeling this way by realising that others care and would rather help you and ensure you have someone to talk to than battle it alone.

Nobody feel like that . you are special to those who luv u..u will always be their love..never a burden whatever the case is ..and for those who don't love u..u r not in need to think..giv a dam to dem..and by taking medical help depression vanishes justblike fever ..be strong and c the other positive side of life n b thankful for that

Don't let yourself feel like a burden to others. If others are your friends and family, true friends and family would not stop them from helping you, whether you were, or were not a burden. They'll do anything for you. Just as you would want to help them and probably wouldn't consider them a burden if the tables were turned.

You are not a burden to others. Say it out loud to yourself. You are not a burden. You are so much more. If you need to talk, people are always here.

First, try to understand that depression can make one feel very bad. Don't blame yourself for feeling this one. Second, try to look at it more objectively: how much of a burden are you to others? find real examples and reassess the level of burden you are to others. Third, please trust the people who truly care about you to have the capacity of supporting you when you are in crisis. Flip the situation and ask yourself: if your best friend is depressed, how do you feel about it? how would you react?

One characteristic of depression is the feeling of low self worth. It is not unlikely to feel that we are a burden to others. Instead of trying to stop feeling this way, we can understand that it is an inherent part of depression. Work towards recovery and this feeling will lessen.

Start by realising the effort done by others, even the small acts and to avoid getting into a self pity state.

Thinking about why you are depressed and initiating a solution and straying away from negative talks, don't let others drive you in a way they want to- because when one is depressed he/she is very likely to get involved in the solutions that people suggest but they need not be always good, sometimes this is what leads to bad addictive scenes.

Depression can make you feel this way. However, you must acknowledge these feelings and know their importance. You should know that you are not a burden. People around you do care about you, and are willing to stand with you.

Hello love . I get where you are coming from , we all do. I've been there . What you must remember is that you are not a burden , guessing that the 'others' you are speaking about are loved ones , they love you and want to help . You're not a burden , you're a gift they want to cherish. Let them .
