I can definitely relate to this. My depression doesn’t always show up as sadness either, sometimes it’s more irritability or feeling on edge. I’ve noticed it can affect my relationships because I sometimes withdraw or become a bit short-tempered without meaning to.

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

AmbassadorLizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends
this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?

Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

Hi everyone,
Not everyone realizes that depression doesn’t always look like sadness. For many, it shows up as anger, irritability, or frustration, especially with loved ones.

This is a part of mental health we don’t talk about enough, so let’s start now.
Take care,
