It's hard to be around someone who's depressed all the time. The problem is that many people don't want to admit to being depressed, are worried about seeking help for depression or are simply embarrassed about being depressed.
The sad part is that you need to do something about depression in order to understand and ultimately beat it but it's depression that sucks your drive out of you making you not want to act. |
That is SO true! I have a depressed friend right now that keeps going to the doctor for all kinds of tests but refusing to admit it's depression. Depressed people do not understand why people find it difficult to be around them; I believe it adds more to the depression because they then feel unloved and unwanted. It is SO sad....
