5 A.M..... Why must I be sad all day but hide it with a smile. I can not talk of how I really feel, I can only hope that someone will notice. Everyone I know is consumed with their own vanity to notice that I have lost my own.The only thing that keeps me from truly ending is the fear that if I did, no one would even see that I was gone.....

How in the world can anyone know how you are feeling or what you are feeling bad about - if you don't tell them? Are you thinking that the rest of the world should not be happy just because you are sad? That sounds very selfish! Talk, tell someone... I am listening and don't know you from ADAM. Letting your hurt out with words on a PC can actually help you to ease some of your frustrations. Isolation is never good for someone who is depressed. Talk... Don't let this get you down. Once I reached for a razor to slit my wrist, DON'T! Allow others to hear your heart and try to help you, please!

I often try to hide the way I feel. Though, I do not feel as sad as you seem to. You should talk to someone. They may not notice how you are feeling and they may not seem to care but they do. There are many things in life that can cause us not to see what is right in front of us. That doesn't mean that we don't care. If my friend were depressed I would want them to talk to me about it. Don't be mad at them for not noticing. There is a good chance that somewhere along the line you have had a friend in need that you also failed to realize. Just talk to someone. Even if it is just someone on here. You're on my friends list. Hit me up.

It has been almost a full 24 hours since I posted this and, as of this moment, I feel pretty good. Depression is a very strange thing, it is so hard to talk to someone about it whenever you truly don't understand yourself as to why you may be feeling the way you do. But then I find that even people I don't really know will reach out to you and listen, which is very cool. thanks

I am glad that you are feeling pretty good now, at least when you wrote this response. But if you get to feeling down again, don't hesitate, drop me a few lines. I think it can be easier to open up to strangers. Even if you don't understand why, maybe just talking about how bad you feel may help.

I felt all the words that you said. That was almost I’m feeling. I kept my emotions all bottled up as there are no one to listen to me. Sometimes, I feel that I don’t want to be a burden to them so I just keep my mouth shut. There are so consumed in there life that sometimes they don’t hear me saying the things that troubled me. If they listen, as if I were talking to a dummy. They seems not to understand the words I’m saying, I can see it with there blank face. I felt like I’m invisible. If I die, I’m sure no one will be there for me. No one would noticed I ever existed.
