anyone here depressed?

it’s a scary thing to admit to to someone in real life. it feels like admitting weakness. and when i was younger, i thought if other people found out, they wouldn’t be my friend anymore (worse fear i have is losing friends). i’ve stopped caring about all of that lately and i realize that it is perfectly fine to admit that you are depressed, and it is NOT to admit to weakness. it’s the complete opposite, it is to admit to strength. you want help now and you’re going to do to get it. <br><br>i feel like it’s wrong if nobody is talking about it. we need to get rid of the stigma that depressed people have, because they don’t deserve it. at all. if you’re depressed to someone in real life, message me and i’ll talk with you. i’m doing this for myself too, because i realize now that i can’t do this alone. i need to ask for help, no matter how hard it is for me. <br><br>i’ve realized that it is 110% okay to admit to other people that you need help, and if you don’t have someone in real life that you can talk to, then message me on reddit. i’m still new to this sub, but i’ve been so inspired by the nice people in here. i’ve gotten a few private messages asking for advice, which i think is a plus. plus now i don’t feel alone to admit that i am depressed. i’m happy, that type if depressed. <br><br>anyway, if you guys want to talk, message me. my inbox is open. thanks for reading :) (also please spread awareness about this, we need to have a better support for depressed people)
