I Battle Depression

Lately, I've been feeling like I want to disappear. Not die. Disappear. Cut ties with my friends. Erase myself from their minds, and just go. I hate myself for the jealousy and anger that rises in me when I see them having fun with others; without me. But you can't have fun with someone who's depressed. So it shouldn't surprise me that they seek others with whom they can have a good time. Still, I blew up today and told them everything I felt. The funny thing is, they don't want me completely gone from their lives. And they say they'll be there for me whenever I need them. But what I want is for them to let me go. I just want to be happy alone. I honestly feel that's what would be best for me in the long run. So I'm torn between what I want and what they want. It's not like they do anything to help with my depression. They just give me all the space they think I need and stay away until I magically feel better. So what difference would it make if this time I don't feel magically better and just continue to drift away? Will they chase me or finally let me go? I just want to be at peace with myself.

Maybe they just confused how to acted in front of you. They afraid of hurting you, why dont you tell them that you need them now, if they can't be there for you tell them to leave you.

I told them and they can't be there for me. This is actually not the first time this happens. And when I looked back I realized they really never have been there for me when I'm like this. They just go away.

So yeah you can leave them and find some new friend who actually care for you
