This annoys the s**t out of me when people say things like that.

For me it's because I'm too anxious to speak to a complete stranger about my problems. It takes a lot of courage to seek help.

Yes. That's what gets me down. I'm fine. I just worry about everyone else.

I feel ya.

This is why I I go to bed listening to Brainsync and other medition on headphones. Otherwise my nights are filled with thought racing and days seem scary.

I try not to leave mine to it's own.. with time to think!

Managing mental illness is exhausting. This is so accurate.

Yup, and another thing to feel guilty about.

That's pretty spot on.

This sums it up pretty well

This is me when i don't have work.

Me right now.

I've worked so long to cultivate the facade of a kind of carefree goofy person that sometimes I wonder what my real self is like...

I dont use social media like Facebook because I know everyone is doing better that I know. Don't need reminders that I f****d my life up

This guys comics speak my feelings to a T

Every night... here's my little prayer: "Please, whoever is out there. I do not ask for much. I just ask that I close my eyes for the last time tonight and drift off. Please do not let me wake up. Thank you."

Yeap

God I hate it when they team up to double team you.

At the top of the list " make a list" tick.

So true...

I have somatic anxiety so when I get upset about something I can go from throwing up to seizures and everything in between hot sweats cold sweats passing out you name it somatic anxiety is one of the worst mental disorders I think anyone could be burdened with

That's definitely what it's like.

I was told by "friends" in University: "Don't actually tell people how you're feeling. They just want to see you smile, just BE HAPPY for crying out loud. You're just driving people away by being down" - well... thank you and welcome to unhealthy coping mechanisms...

Mom sure but friends what are they?

Yes, it often feels my depression is making me waste my time on earth...

fall out boy?

Omg I know how this is. I didn't know anyone else knew what it's like to be tired yet u get sleep.

This I understand completely, I am seriously struggling with motivation. This year has been bloody awful with my depression.

At least depression is something being acknowledged there... while many country in Asia didn't. We don't even know where to seek help without being viewed as weak and crazy, family and friends reaction varies from... there's no such thing as depression, it's just over thinking, stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, don't hide it, talk it out, it will make you better... to... stop self pitying! They don't understand sometime it just out of our control.
