I feel like I've done nothing but make sacrifices for my friends and family and especially my boyfriend. I've been struggling recently with feeling depressed and no one seems to care. I tried talking to them tried telling them something is wrong and they just don't talk to me anymore. No one checks on me or tries to help me and that's all I've done for them. I've bought them food, helped pay their bills and take care of their kids. I was their to support them when they lost their jobs, needed a ride, or help with school. I've been there financially and emotionally. I tried to help solve their problems. And now that I need help and tried to ask Ive just been made to feel like an inconvenience and like I'm being pushed away by the people I was always there for. I've been told I'm ruining their fun and blowing things out of proportion. I'm so lost and feel so alone.

  • you need to tell your GP about feeling depressed. The main thing to find out is ,,, is it temporary or is it progressing ?   I am lucky my depression appears to have been temporary. 

    "blowing thing out of proportion" is a typical response to depression and not very helpful. Most people do not understand the seriousness of this disorder/state. You being pushed away is a typical response from people who dont know what to do.

    I for one realise how awful it is,,, my onset of depression was a wake up call for me I was so scared I went to my GP and in the end things are ok now. The earlier u go the better.  If the see GP does not appear to be clued into the new way of accepting patients reporting Depression get another one. 

    With a bit of help, you will improve soon.
