The Depression Problem No One Talks About
About two years ago, my near-engagement fell apart. I wasn’t just sad; I was vehemently angry. I not only cried, but I lashed out. I spent large portions of my days in a cloud of my own dark thoughts — dazed and confused. I managed to hold down a full-time managerial job, and for a while, I was able to keep up with social obligations. I sought professional therapy, but it wasn’t enough. So, I leaned on my closest friends, probably too much. Eventually, one by one, they dropped off.

My best friend is depressed and i really don’t know how to help her. i always ask her “whats wrong?” or “are u ok?”, but her reply is always the same “I hate that question!” or “Im fine so stop asking!” when clearly she’s lying and obviously from her reactions and what I’ve read I SHOULDN’T ASK ANY MORE!!! but its sort of a habit i really need to get out of so I’m doing my research so i get better. I REALLY REALLY want to help her but i just don’t know how and she kinda, sorta, REALLY hate my help and those “DON’T ASK QUESTIONS!” that i aways break that rule and i think she might be starting to hate me (I really hope not tho).
Any way thx, Rachael.
