i think maybe we are so used to being so sad. i think we are afraid to show ourselves when we are ok. and maybe if we show others, they wont realize how horrible we are if we are completely depressed the next day, or the next hour.

I COMPLETELY agree with this. You dont want people thinking your happy because you dont wanna be sad again. I know its hard to explain and understand but yeah. If something can go wrong, it will and you just gota get past the bad stuff and focus on the good. You know how to get ahold of me if you need to talk.

i agree with the others. i believe we are so used to feeling a certain way so it becomes hard for us to express how we are feeling at the specific point in time. we begin to think that the person we are is Depressed. and we don't want to smile and show people we are happy, and the next day be depressed once again. i'm sorry if this makes no sense. this is just something thats really complicated to explain, and even more complicated to understand it. if you need me dont hesitate to pm me.

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.

I am like that. It feels like so much utter crap when you let go and enjoy the happiness, and then something shatters all of it. It's one big crash. I usually act happy and normal around friends to avoid the "what's wrong?". I mean I can say "nothing", but then you have that awkward feeling between eachother that something is wrong.

Also, I try not to show if I am feeling sad, because I don't want to be seen as weak. I know being sad is NOT weak, but it just makes me feel more vulnerable around others, so I try to avoid showing it, you know?

Maybe subconciously you just want to feel loved, and if people show concern when you're in pain then you know you're cared about. A lot of people do this too...but the problem is that when you're constantly showing people that you're un-happy they dont notice it as much anymore and then you have to keep going to bigger extreams to get the attention that you need. Positive attention is not a bad thing...try to be happy and show everyone that there's more to you than the never ending issues. I'm saying this from experience because you remind me so much of myself. I've cut for years (not recently) i struggle from an eating disorder...and i hate for people to know about those things, but at the same time when they show me that they care it means a lot because i dont care about myself all that much...it's just nice if somebody could...ya know?



Good luck,

Andi
