who else has trouble reaching out to people about their issues?
sometimes i think i’m ready to reach out and get help. then i remember all the times i tried to do so and was burned – like when my sister called my cutting ‘stupid’, when i tried to approach the subject with a school counselor and was ignored, not counting all the times i was told to just be grateful for what i have, or to ‘just get over it’. or my favorite; ‘do something about it then’.
they tell us if we’re feeling bad to talk to someone about it… what if no one wants to fucking listen??

I think they don’t understand because they also don’t have what you have, so they can’t relate. That’s why places like this exist. This is it’s own community.
You beat me to it. Most people won’t understand because they don’t know the difference between major depression and being sad. Confiding in this community seems to be the thing I keep coming back to and it helps.
