I Have Something to Say

CW: Suicide

An old friend of mine killed himself last week. We hadn't been close in years but I knew he was depressed. I could see it in his face and when I saw him at the grocery store I asked him if he wanted to talk. He said no and I understand why. It's not like normal sadness. It's the feeling of prolonged hopelessness for your life. He was a good person and I was sad.

Depression is a very difficult and complex situation. People don't think with their normal logic and therefore anything can happen.
Been there, done that (not the suicide of course lol)
So sorry to hear about your friend.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters It's hard for others to understand too because depression isn't the same as feeling depressed. It's not really an emotion, more like being stuck down a well and not even having the energy to try to climb out. That's how it was for me anyway.
@Magnolia I write to explain mine.

@Magnolia I had a period of time that although I was fully functional on my day to day inside I was empty and down , and my constant thoughts were about my problems. After a while I got hold of myself and am now on medication.
