We dealing with depression/anxiety you often feel as though no one understands you. Sometimes you may be shame to let others know what you are going through so you’d rather just cut communication out and deal with it alone. Therefore you don’t have to deal with feeling like someone is doing better than you or you’re not good enough or have enough to socialize with them ðŸ˜

Nothing seems good to you when you are in gloom. Your very own closed ones try to console you repeatedly. But no one is ur closed one according to u at that time. You silence urself. Their useless words like"bukcup urself" "be strong" are too meaningless for u to comprehend. They havent been theough it. So who are they to tell u what to do? Dont you yourself know being strong is a good thing? Yes u know that. You want to listen to something unique. Give patients of depression proper medications and self help guides and dont get irritated if they dont respond according to your "time deadline" that u give to them. Keep a close watch on them. And let things fall into place. They will at the proper time. And i mean "appropriate time".

Personally, it's the cliché advice people give over and over again. Although i know they mean well, it's like why bother. Well, i gotta say...BOTHER! i gave it a shot one day when i was feeling like "why bother" and got a new perspective of that situation. And surprisingly, from someone younger than I. So we must never underestimate any human being, cause you never know where the answer will come from.

I think that the feeling of not wanting to talk to other people might come from the belief that you're bothering them or being annoying, because people with depression often have feelings of worthlessness. In reality, people most likely do want to talk to you and you should always try your best to not isolate yourself, although that may be easier said than done.

Depression is an illness like any other and its has both physical and emotional symptoms. A symptom of depression is that everything can get slower (literally depressed) and this affects everything from motivation to get out of bed, to loosing the will to talk and express yourself. Speak to your doctor or a trained therapist if you think you have symptoms of depression.

Because you begin to feel like you are in a isolated and dark place. The sadness you are feeling at this point has exceeded, so your interest in social situations begins to falter. Negative thought are also possibly dominating your brain and the sunshine fades. However, this should not be the case because talking to others can ease your way out of depression.

Sometimes it can feel as if those around us, whether family, friends, or colleagues, don’t truly understand how we feel. You might think people can sympathize but cannot empathize, but more people struggle with anxiety and depression than you may realize.
When we tell people how we truly feel we are more likely to receive their support and understanding which makes our lives a little bit easier.
I understand how difficult it can be to let people know that you suffer with depression But believe me, there is nothing embarrassing about admitting that we struggle. In fact, quite the opposite is true ,it’s admirable because it takes a huge amount of courage to do so.
