6 months back I was told I suffer with moderate depression. I struggle to comprehend the implications of depression, I don't understand it and that in turn makes my mind spin. why am I happy some days, then out of nowhere my mood is shattered? will I be on tablets for the rest of my life? why me?
I mean, I haven't had a hard life, people have much worse. I just can't shake these low thoughts that bring me down and reduce me to my own private tears for seemingly no reason. I can't show that I am down so I have a mask of overconfidence that I have created which means nobody else can ask me how I am.
the few people I have told have tried to 'counsel' me, this just makes me feel worse and want to avoid talking to them even though I know they mean well. are there any tips to combat these low moods?
I could really use some tips and guidance.
p.s - admitting this and writing this has been one of the hardest things I've ever done.
