Perhaps you are talking to the wrong people. I highly recommend seeking an opinion from a professional - they have the skills to properly diagnose you

A lot of people don't believe that depression is a real thing, the probably just think you are sad and will get over it or they think that others have it worse and that you don't have it that bad. I'm sorry nobody believes you:(

Sometimes, people won't believe you if you seem to be acting. Try to just be natural. Also, if you're going around and saying it, people may not believe you.

Often people struggle to accept that the people they love are ill or in a bad place; this is because they want what is best for you. However, this can manifest in strange ways, and sometimes it seems like they don't care, when really they are just confused or scared for your welfare. However, accepting it is half the battle won. It is always best to talk it out with someone you trust, and seek a doctor's help.

Often individuals with little/no experience dealing with mental health issues can be unaware or uneducated on the topic, leading to confusion or lack of belief. In these situations, it is best to seek out professional assistance to aid you in any problems you face.

From my experience it is very hard for other people to imagine how you feel, as they have not felt the same way. So they are pushed by the incredulity to think you are making it up.

Sometimes people think depression means just being bummed out or sad when there's actually so much more happening. This is why educating people on mental illnesses is important.

They probably don't understand the symptoms and nature of depression so you'll have to educate them to help them understand and support you.

Maybe because no one saw the signs. Maybe you were acting totally natural and fine when everything wasn't

Because it is a mental illness and mental illnesses are swept under the rug because others cannot see them as they often are in our minds
