What to tell people about depression?!
Question:
What to tell people about depression?
I was diagnosed with major depression; know I've had it for at least 4 years. In the meantime I withdrew and let friendships cool. I'm better now...what do I tell people I want to reconnect with?
Answers:
give it to them straight. Apologize for hurt feeling you may have cause, and any neediness or hurt. Then tell them that you were depressed and needed to work and settle that up in order to be friends and give them what they deserve. It is nothing to be embarrased about....I am very proud of you, and your strength to discuss it and solve the problem.....many people take longer, if not never self diagnose and try to make their lives happier and good again.
