Struggling to Explain My Depression to Others

Amarand26 we get good & pretending...that is me anyway

I feel that. I'm sorry you don't have the support of your family. If you need to talk I'm here.

And I'm still depressed

I agree with laceyandme....I have a loving husband of almost 20yrs & we been together for almost 23yrs

I always tell everyone that it's a chemical malfunction in my brain. Sometimes I can be "fixed" by medications but not all the time. They help in the day to day but not the extremes.

For me, my depression is genetic and can get triggered by lack of sleep. Just ask yourself if you have any family members who are the same if not check your sleep schedule to see if you're getting enough sleep. But it could literally be a number of things. Just hang in there ok.

Its doesnt matter if you had a good life or now depression effects alot of people. Its a chemical imbalance im sorry they dont understand
