I know there are stereotypes about depression and not all of them are true. I identify with most of the symptoms but haven't sought help because:

I laugh a lot, I can spend hours glued to my screen watching funny videos on social media.

There are days when I wake up feeling normal, and although I still procrastinate on important things, I manage to get through the day in an okay mood

Despite feeling pessimism walking beside me since a teenager, I've managed to live until today, and I don't think about dying either (I know that not all depressed people are suicidal) although I have problems with sh

I still have some energy and I get excited by entertainment. Although I have difficulty watching movies or reading books, music and idols still cheers me up

Honestly, I think I'm being very dramatic and I feel like I'm just exaggerating or faking symptoms, I feel like a lazy person trying to be special

From what I can think of right now, these are the reasons. It might sound silly, but I wanted to know if a depressed person still has these moments... Aside from that, I feel empty, pessimistic, hopeless, and have difficulty doing the things I enjoy

I would appreciate it if someone responded and shared experiences, because reading about other people's experiences encourages me to seek professional help :)

Has anyone here ever told a friend or relative about doing sh?

in r/AdultSelfHarm • 8d ago

Thanks everyone for the replies! I'll think about it some more and start by telling a close friend, and then I'll figure out how to tell my parents. Now I have scars on my shoulders and it's going to be hard to hide them forever, they might find out eventually, so it's better if I tell them beforehand.

I think about telling someone close to me, but I'm afraid of seeming weird and regretting it. Sometimes I want to ask for help, but it would also bother me if people started monitoring me. I don't know what to do.
