when you suffer from depression no one knows unless you tell them. i have suffered from a major depressive disorder, anxiety and post traumatic stress for a very long time, but only recently got diagnosed. i am on antidepressants and see my phycologist every fortnight, which is helping a little, but i think i left it too late to really help a lot.so i urge you, if you think there is something wrong, your not sleeping, you wake up early and cant go back to sleep and you feel blue all the time, please go and get help early.
It has ruined my life. I dont like going anywhere, i have very few friends because i cant visit them and they get sick of asking when i keep making excuses. i dont sleep well, i'm tired all day long, i hate being around anyone except my family.  I get angry easy, over simple little things, I get no joy out of life and for most of the time I wear a mask to hide my true feelings.Everything I do is a chore, there are many days when I hate myself, I hate my house, I hate everything. there are a few good days when I am happy, but not many.I dont want to be like this and only other people who suffer from depression will understand what i am saying.
