annoyed!!

I have had such a horrible day!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean i am been treated for depres. so it prob wouldnt be that bad to most other people. bt does anyone out there with depression know what it feels like when the one person u always has patience with u suddenly doesnt and kind of just suddenly doesnt understand that u cant snap out of it????? its sooo annoying!!!!!!!! :mad:
I dont have depression, but I have come very close for one summer, and it must be hard if the person you normally rely on isnt being as sensetive, as you seem to be saying in your post. We're all human, so I guess even the nicest person at times can let you down, and we have to forgive them for not being perfect.

Maybe you should try look at it from their point of view - I have friends with depression and however much patience and love I have, at the end of the day sometimes it feels like you give all your help and support and get none back in return. Though you may feel bad, the person who counsels you has their bad times too, and you shouldn't forget that. No one can give 100% attention all the time, and it's unfair to expect it of them. A trained counsellor, on the other hand, is a much more effective way of getting support, and doesn't jeopardise friendships.

Depression is horrible, so you have my sympathies. Hope the world seems a brighter place soon. :smile:

as hard as it is you need to look at it from the other person's point of view. it sounds as if they've been a great support to you but it's hard to always be the supporter and not get anything in return. i'm sure they know you can't snap out of it, but try and understand they can't always be perfect and have up and down days too!

but you can't blame someone else for how you feel...it's not their fault! that could be why this person is now upset! i'm not saying it's your fault either, of course you can't control how you feel.
i know what ya mean, i've been in the situation myself, i hate it when people just assume you can snap out of it, it's just not that simple.
Maybe the person you rely on to be sympathetic suddenly has problems of their own. That could be why they are telling you to 'snap out of it' as they might have something going on in their life that they believe is worse- whether this is true or not.
I know what it feels like when the one person that understands is no longer there for you, but be strong and i hope things get better for you soon :smile:
