Depression

Mystic Fibrosis

Depression is a funny thing. It seems to affect the people you wouldn't expect it to, e.g. the well off people, as well as the more disadvantaged people. I think of my self as well off, and I'm very depressed about a personal matter right now. I keep falling out with a very close friend of mine and it's really depressing. It doesn't help that she's a member of the opposite sex whom I care about. Apparently I'm hyper-sensitive and I really hate it. I can't seem to handle matters like this.

mind me asking why you keep falling out with her?
if somebody makes you feel that way then perhaps you more than care for them?

I dont think you are clinically depressed, you are just upset about the matter. Generally people who are depressed have it as an illness, and its not because of a single matter. Depression cant be cured it can only be treated as in its with you all your life. Every day is a living nightmare you just want to end it all.

Welcome to the boards dukman.

I think that we have to have things in our life to be depressed about. It can inspire and make you see life in many different ways.

Have you sat down and had a proper chat with her? Emotions aside. Try letting logic take over maybe.

Keep us posted

it all depends on how you are brought up...
If you are well off and always have been since your up bringing then you skip a lot of harshness other people have to face.
We need those emotional challenges to digest it and learn to control them. just a crude example, somebody who has just returned from a long battle will look down on people who think their electronic watch is the end of the world!.
depression is just one of those things we face in our modern world. can i say that most of us have become too soft? or not balanced?

my advise is to take a break for awhile, try not to c her for a couple of weeks and cool off,if ur feeling really frustrated it shud help:)

i've found in the past that if you have feelings for someone but you dont realise your true feelings for them, it can lead to confusion, then depression.

You might want to confront your true feelings, confront her with them, and then for good or bad resolve the stiuation.
