To other people it may seem we are playing the 'poor me' card. But you know how you feel. A lot of us isolate because of depression. I did it for so many years I lost most of my friends. The one whi stuck around are worth their weight in gold. If she can't understand maybe she is not the friend for you.

People that don't have it just don't get it and I find they aren't very understanding.

Just recently I saw a post on social media. It said people don't fake a mental illness, they fake being well. I just want to tell you something that was told to me . It's ok if you're not ok you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Remind the dummies that chronic means managing it, not eliminating it. If they're not strong enough to be there with you, God bless, goodbye. You stay strong, Girl. ❤️‍🔥
