How do I tell my friends?
I have been really struggling with depression after a breakup and don’t know how to tell my friends. Or if I even should. I feel really lonely and low energy. I feel bad that I can’t be my usually self for them and like i’m being a bad friend. But I’m afraid that if I tell them how bad it is they’ll feel guilt tripped? They live far away so i don’t even know what they could do to help. But I feel like I am digging myself into a deeper lonelier hole by not telling anyone. I’ve been depressed for months but it was manageable and would get better for a bit but since the break up i’ve hit a low i’ve never experienced before.
I’m in therapy and I started antidepressants. I work out, I go to the beach on the weekends, I participate in my hobbies, and I am still so depressed. I am functional. I go to work, I shower, I get dressed. But I am constantly on the verge of sobbing and when i’m alone i can’t stop crying. It feels like there’s this heavy pit in my mind weighing me down and I don’t know how to be myself with friends anymore. so i’ve kind of pulled away. what do i do? I feel like im doing everything by the book but i haven’t felt a single positive emotion in weeks.
