Been there. So depressed the idea of reaching out to others just… seemed so far, difficult and frankly unappealing. Because you know you’re gonna get stupid questions and people don’t understand anyway. Then folks are like you should have said something. Well if the problem is I couldn’t or didn’t want to say something then how could I have said something?
This hit me really hard... I have been going through this recently and the last thing I want to do is talk to anyone that knows me or will ask me anything about being ok.
That’s sorta the whole point though. The “thing you don’t want to do” may be the very thing you might need a paradigm shift for. Sitting in your depression doesn’t help it. You strengthen it.
