opening up

Post Reply New Topic

i dont know about you but lately (and i think its coz im pretty depressed at the moment) i find the issue of opening to those around me and letting them know what im feeling an absolutely excrutiating ordeal that i just cannot bring myself to do. what do i do? i just get anxious and start trembling whenever the chance comes or I'm about to. advice?

do it in chat instead of in person

Yeah; find geeks that like to communicate on the computer. There are lots of people here on WP thst you could probably open up to. Myself included. PM me if you want.

ive been there.

To me, that's very important. I have a friend who suddenly went from being open and friendly, to always trying to hide something from me. My friend would comment on what I had to say, but would never tell me anything about her anymore. And I haven't heard from her in almost 2 months, despite me sending her three e-mails since the last time she e-mailed me.

yeah, it sucks. I find I can't really open up to anyone except my parents, and they just always find a reason why it's my fault and it's happening because I was too lazy to do something, so lately I've just given up saying anything about it. I'm just depressed in my own head.

My advice? Don't bother. It's not worth the ordeal or the crap you get back from people about it; who always make it out to be your fault somehow, which even if that is actually the case, doesn't actually help in any way and just makes you feel worse.

The best thing that you can do is to try to be proactive about it and de-depress yourself somehow. Problem with depression is that it causes you to lose your motivation to better your life. If you don't see things changing or improving in the near future try taking pills or something maybe.
