Help answer this question below.
I understand what you're saying. And, yes, sometimes our friends do abandon us when we're depressed. Maybe they don't have the patience to handle a depressed person, or they might not know what to say. If the latter is the case, then talk to your friends and share your needs with them. Say, "I'm having a hard time right now, and your support and presence would mean the world to me." Then tell them specifically what you want from them. Do you want them to be more understanding? Do you want them to visit or hang out with you more? If you don't ask, you won't receive.
With that said, no one person (or even a group of people) can meet all our needs. That's why it's important that, with or without that support, you seek help from a professional.
The sooner you learn that noone is here to fulfill your expectations of them, the happier your life will be.
Only you can help yourself.Don't blame others.I can try to help you because I understand what you say.Not everyone does.
i went through pretty much the same sort of thing , as a matter of fact you have answered my question that i posted earlier a couple of hours ago . people who have not gone through this will not understand your mind don`t expect them to . this is what i done to get self enlightentment , take a step out of your self and look at what is making you depressed , and most importently be honest with your self , how are you dealing with with what ever happened to you i.e are you supressing it with drink or drugs because this does not help, you are only pushing the problems to one side not dealing with them . be careful you are not using sadness as a comfort that will do you more harm than good . don`t lock yourself away thinking the world does not care , most people don`t under stand because they have not been through it . don`t listen to other peoples problems as this gives your mind more problems to deal with . take it step by step don`t try to rush things . i am trying my hardest not to give a useless answer here just trying to help you understand about the problems you are and maybe facing . proper mental block is hard to see through because the world seems a very different place than before, its hard to deal with . some things take time , some things i did i.e take it out on some hard exercise i.e running cycling punch bag , then sometimes it may take a good book to get stuck into . what made you happy as a child . i`ve even done something out of the ordinary that you would not even have done before . but most of all do not care what other people think , don`t look for approval in what you do to make yourself happy . look man i got shown the back door of a church , all my so called friends snubbed me my family rejected me , not for what i was doing just for the way i was in my depression . who needs pretend friends you`ve got yourself love yourself care for your self , above all remember you are you they are them thank god you are not them would you want to be that heartles anyway . thank god for you . god bless you my friend i`m here for you i don`t know you from adam but i understand you at least your trying you won`t fail i promise you . just do your own thing and love yourself for who you are noy what other people say you are , 10 times out of 10 there wrong good luck me old mate just remember we are all individual
You have a disease. Are people at fault because you want to blame someone else? You have the power to be happy or sad and when you don't and you blame other people for your problem, that is your fault. Get some help with the disease of depression.
That's why we have parents and doctors. Not everyone can bend over backwards when everyone of their friends has a problem. We all can't alwats feel sympathy when we 'should' feel it. You can't guilt trip someome for not feeling a certain way. If youy already tried telling them how you feel in a sincere way, then it's just how they feel.
I'm on medication for Clinical Depression. No one is to blame, and you can't expect others to understand because it's very personal. Go see your GP. Quick answer - but I hope it helps a little.
Maybe they do not know what to say. Somethings are just beyond what we are capable of coping with. For example, you cannot cope with being depressed. Don't blame them for what you feel. You need to look around and see the great things that are around you. For example, look at how your friends stick by you when you are depressed.
Which is better--Lexapro or Effexor?
