There's chemical stuff going on in your brain that is trying to get you to hole up and rest and not think or engage.

Depression makes us weak. It makes us fall, so it's hard to get back up. We need to make sure when we fall, we fall into someones arms.

When we get into a depressive state we focus on being more of a victim of the problem we see. This keeps us from seeing things from a different perspective and makes it more difficult for us to experience our own strengths. We do not feel like there is anything that can help us.

Because depression is like a snake squeezing every last bit of light or hope out of you that it makes a way out hard to find

A lot of times i'm ashamed of myself for not having better control over my emotions and i feel weak, so i try and hide this weakness from everyone. I also dont want to burden people with my problems so i just dont tell people about my problems. I want to be seen as strong, so that people wont have to worry about me, if people knew about my episodes i feel as if it would ruin that image and ruin my independence.

Most of people see depression as something shameful, though its not. Any one can fall into depression, people shouldn't be ashamed of it. If you get help it doesn't mean you are week, it means that you just care about yourself.

Its actually the fear of rejection or disapproval that prevents us from expressing ourselves when we are depressed. We feel that people will make fun of our emotions instead of lending a listening ear

When we're feeling vulnerable we often close ourselves off so that we don't experience any more pain. Try to remember that people who truly love you will never intentionally hurt you.
