Depression

Posted by GIRL2008 on 6/15/2008 8:53:00 PM
i cant be happy no matter what.... i fake happiness when im around people so they wont worry... when i found out that i had manic depression my life just stopped. i have not told any1..not even my own mother knows. i want it to go away but im too scared of my image. ive always been the happy,funny, non caring girl and ive always stuck with that image.. but sometimes i cant hide how sad i am bout everything... i have a nice family and everything but i dont feel happy.. i wrote poems, i try to do things that i love, and i try to be positive all the time but im not no cheerleader..i just cant do it. and i know if i tell my mom bout manic depression she wont believe me because she thinks i think up things to get attention... but im not, im very very serious.

this is what me n my mom's convo wud be like if i told her::


me: mom......
mom:what?
me:i have manic depression
mom: oh girl,your full of shit
me:seriously mom, i really do, please believe me
mom: look, you are completely normal, stop lying to me, u r grounded.
me:forget you then! *walks away crying*

Manic Depression isn't being sad all the time.

When you have manic depression you're happy for a little bit, have a "high" and you're full of energy. ...than you crash, and are depressed over nothing.

Have you even been diagnosed professionally?

You may just have regular depression and if you were professionally diagnosed you'd be on medication for it.

Not that it would help.
