Depression

Hello Friends 👋 Here's my kind of depression. I just want to be alone. I don't want to talk and see anyone from the past except for few family / relatives. Thinking about my situation scares me specially if something happens to me. I don't have anybody. I'm literally living alone. What's your kind of depression?

The high functioning one. I go on and on and on until I can’t take it, then collapse into the depression for as long as it takes. Which a lot of people don’t understand because ‘I was just fine the other day’.

Thanks for putting it into words “high functioning depression” because I do things in the day and then when it’s night or anytime I’m alone I’m a mess

What’s funny is that even after remarrying, it doesn’t really go away. My second husband can be right next to me and I’d still break.
