I Am Secretly Depressed

And that’s my biggest problem, I have to hide my pain. If I don’t everyone gets mad. It becomes the “why can’t you be better?” rant. When I absolutely can’t take it anymore and I cry I fail everyone because I should have been more open. I fix people, I’m there for them, I’m a listener. I love being able to be there for someone. But eventually something goes awry and I end up in a position where I can’t say anything or else.

Or else

Maybe I’m just an idiot. Maybe I never helped anybody. Maybe that’s why I feel so guilty. Next year I will go back to therapy once I get insurance. For now I just have to survive. Just survive. Because in the end all I have is myself..

depression is one hell of a mess to go thru. find someone who understands and there are medications which may help you. at least make it easier to cope

@SW-User Im terrified of medication but at this point I might have to. It’s exhausting

@itisntanything with medication your doctor should help you with that. so you wont be alone . its important to stay in touch with your doctor and let him/her know of any side effects you may have

And that's true about having to hide your pain. I hope you are able to get some help. Depression is really horrible. It's like a bear that leaps out and jumps onto your back...weighing you down... making every step feel exhausting.

I had to hide my pain and depression too. Honestly what got me through was journaling every night. Even if the thoughts you’re writing make no sense in the morning just write the words you’re feeling in the moment. It helps to feel that you’re really expressing your pain and hurt.
