How do I go about telling a friend how I've been feeling lately?
I've been feeling depressed for a while now. Nothing seems to go right for me. I feel so stuck and isolated. I don't think things will get better. How do I tell a friend about how I am feeling? I'm a private person, and I keep thinkgs to myself. I'm afraidthis will make me seem dramatic, selfish or like I am seeking attention. I know I am not, but I can't help feeling this way. Do I just be blunt about my depression to my friend?
If this is a good trusted friend, you could share as much or as little as you like. It has helped me to talk about it. If you dont feel comfortable like that, check out some listeners on 7 cups. You could also try to find a good counselor. Im usually private in person myself, but I found a good counselor that I trusted and could discuss anything with. I hope you can find some relief, I know how tough it is. All of us are in this together.
