Does everyone treat you kindly when you're depressed?
It's this weakness that attracts people's attention everyone of the employees were so kind to me. It's bizarre, do you guys get the same experiences?

@PlumBerries But why lie? You think they don't really want to know or don't really are?

no I think they care about me and honestly want to know how I'm feeling but also at times it feels like they are checking up on me.. I had a pretty bad track record in the past of self harm and suicide attempts, so it feels like they check up on me a lot since they know about all that and well I don't wont them to worry and I don't like opening up about it to any of them much because well if I start talking about it, I cant hide how I'm feeling and I get very emotional.. like really emotional and it is just easier bottling it up and pretending that I am good

@PlumBerries But that's not helping you, at least talk to someone about it please.

I see a therapist once a week, that is actually required of me if I want to keep my job.. but anyway been doing that since I was 11ish years old.. Talking about it doesn't help as much, it never gets away what I'm feeling and just makes me dwell on it.. AAAnyway I hope you are doing alright

@PlumBerries Maybe you can talk to someone who could relate to that feeling but someone you trust instead of a therapist, a group gathering. I used to be at a book club at a psychiatric ward in a hospital. It's better than talking to therapists though.
Thanks for asking *hugs*, I'll manage I can still laugh at myself and I have someone who's willing to listen to me talk for six hours and talk back so I don't feel so shitty when I can't sleep so I'll be fine I think :D

nah I have done group therapy before and I cant talk when I'm in groups like that. I have severe social anxiety also and I am very quiet in person. I'm more of a listener. I was forced to do it when I was put in hospitals though and I couldn't handle it. Overall I am doing the best I have been in so long.
I'm really gald to hear you have someone for you that you can do that with and a sense of humour is always a great thing :)
