I hope so. I think they are, but I have to remember factors such as: some of my college friends are very young, and not always tactful, which I completely understand- they show that they care in other ways, I don't expect them to have knowledge of how to deal with depression. My boyfriend tries to help by reassuring me e.g if I say "I'm ugly" then he'll say "you're beautiful"
but he doesn't know that to me it sounds like he's talking about someone else ![]() Quote:

When your depression lifts you will be able to see what an amazing bf you have there. What help are you getting for the depression?
None, actually. I hadn't realised until you asked. Last year I took counselling at college, this year I tried CBT outside of college, but that ended a couple months ago |

I know what you mean, it's like I'm aware of it but not fully able to appreciate it, if that makes sense?

It helped me with strategies for the anxiety side of it, but didn't really help with the depression
At least the cbt was some help. On a positive note sounds like you are very lucky and have lots of supportive people around you |

People don't often 'get it' if they haven't experienced it, sadly. The difficult with depression is that people mistaken it for "being sad" when it actual fact it is something entirely different. Everyone gets 'depressed' from time to time, but actual depression is a mental illness that can't just be snapped out of.

You would think they would give you youngsters more help and support!

That's good you are feeling a bit better, it my take some time to fully go but it will, just try to focus on the positives and use the support network you have!

Mm, definitely. I think I'm finally coming to realise that people don't just say these things for no reason, especially if you're in a relationship with them. I agree depression is very different from being sad, but to my friends I often just call it that to make it simpler.
![]() I think the words 'depression' and 'anxiety' are thrown around too casually by us all, probably because they're are convenient. The trouble is feeling 'depressed' or 'anxious' is different from suffering from 'depression' or 'an anxiety disorder'. And it doesn't help when immature people self-diagnose themselves with such conditions for attention

Been so busy lately and was behind on EastEnders so avoided the forums whilst I caught up! Did I miss anything extraordinary on the forum?
