Depression Understood Forums

It's very difficult when you wish already you were dead. But you attempt to take a break from those dark feelings/thoughts. Someone, then, hurts your feelings when you reach out to them. You want to express this to them. But you feel you truly can't. So, what do you do? Do you talk to them about it? Is it safe to do so? I don't know...All I understand is this sinking feeling, my heart in the depths of my stomach.

Its always appropriate to reply, 4EM. Especially if done with kindness.

(((((4EverMe))))))) Wish I had the answers. If you don't feel like its safe to talk to them. You can talk to us here.

Hi you both. Thankyou for each response!
Well, it isn't someone I've known all that long. I don't know if this person would sever the frienship if I were to express what's on my chest.But we do go on being friends. So, that's good.

This person is open in many ways, but in others, seems afraid to respond to things I ask/say. (kind of like a part of them is bottled up) I don't know why. But I'm afraid that if I push the issue, then I wil ,likewise, push them away. I'll be honest and say I have a little crush. However, I can still be a friend, regardless. Ugh...There's nothing I can really do, except to be a good friend. Maybe this person will relax more in time, and open up a bit more.
