my depression symptoms are pretty typical, i think, but one particularly bothers me more than others. on most days, it's so debilitating that i physically can't get out of bed, find the energy to even eat, or do anything throughout daylight hours except sleep. it's been a consistent pattern of 2022. my friends and i often make plans to meet, get food, or even just call each other over the phone. i sometimes end up having to cancel on them because i just physically can't do anything. and i tell them so. "hey, i'm really sorry, i don't think i can get up today. my mental health hasn't been great and it's physically debilitating nowadays." i try to be upfront with them. and it's a 100% true "excuse," if that definition would apply. but, almost every time, i feel so much guilt because to me it just looks like i didn't want to hang out with them. i feel like a flaky friend even though i do still spend time with them on other occasions and still care about them. do you ever encounter that guilt? how do you tackle it if it's still there after you're totally honest to your friends about crippling mental health?
