How Do I Get People To Stop Assuming My Depression Is Related To My Trauma History?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Morris Plains, NJ

I experienced a series of traumatic events some time ago and whenever I’m depressed people will assume it’s because of that when in fact it’s not related anymore. I try to explain but people seem to not believe me, like they think my PTSD is the center of my life when I have actually managed to put it on the back burner.

I think they need educated. Depression is a chemical imbalance.

Honestly,those people don’t live your life.
They will probably never understand.
Others will see in you what they don’t like about themselves.

You do you!
❤️love ❤️ yourself
Forgive them for what they know not about you
And keep on Truckin!

Many Huggz and Blessings to you!
