Push Back

It’s important to understand that someone with depression doesn’t want to feel guilty or a burden. They don’t enjoy it or encourage it. There is tremendous pressure put on all of us in society to appear well and to not talk about negative feelings. When someone is depressed, this feeling is exacerbated and they will often hide how they truly feel from people that care about them. There is a real fear that they are burdening people around them with too great a responsibility. Depression causes people to self destruct and to not seek help or support. They may push others away from them and damage relationships; sometimes irreparably.
