I was diagnosed with depression and ever since I have had the symptoms, i hate school mostly because i dont like being with my friends even though they are nice to me, care about me, compliment me. Is it just the depression?
When I am depressed I either really enjoy being around my friends because it helps me or the complete opposite and I want to be totally alone. I guess it depends what I am depressed about.
Absolutely! I did this many years ago, completely secluded myself away from my friends. like audrina said, i was hurting, they were trying to help, but for some reason I just wanted to hurt even more.
I know what you mean. I do this too when I am depressed. At the time it feels so much better and "safer" to tuck myself away from the world instead of going out and allowing myself to be influenced by things that are positive. I wish I didn't do that. It is masochistic really.
Probably, but I'm the opposite. I've been diagnosed as well, but I really want someone to hang out with me because I'm always bored. But no one will..ughh :(
A long time ago I stayed in my room for 3 weeks. Friends would come over but I asked my mom in advance to ask them to leave. I didn't want to see anyone. Like Anganders said, I also wanted to hurt more I suppose. I've realised that its so easy to let the depression take over because you just don't have to do anything, but it takes hard work to get yourself out of it. It is possible. I firmly believe many things are just mind over matter.you have to be willing and able to constantly tell yourself this is ridiculous, this isn't worth it, what the heck am I doing... Seems silly maybe, but I've been there, man
