    I think some people just function with a reliable network of loved ones to count on. It's good..

    Many people suffering depression lead (on the face of it) normal lives. There are usually telltale signs but people suffering badly can still be high-functioning (just not continuously). It's the same with alcoholism too, which is very much linked. The problems, if left undealt with, will sneak up on you though. You really need to take care of yourself and let a few people know what you're going through so that they can look out for you too.

    Depressed people would actually prefer to be alone. You just seem to be clingy... And a little bit insecure
