    Never have, never will. Feeling weak already sucks enough on its own, last thing I’d want is for others to see it too. But hey, that’s just me.

    When I was younger, my mother issues.

    More recently, heartbreak.

    My adult son was suddenly diagnosed with brain cancer.

    And then I was preliminarily diagnosed with liver cancer.

    Friend is now my fiance.

    I only have one friend I’d open about certain struggles, but only for a reason. All my other friends and people only hear things that don’t influence me

    I found out that someone I trusted as a close friend for years, who I was really doing a huge favor for, was actually manipulating me the whole time and was a huge narcissist and just wanted to use me the whole time. I’ve really been leaning on friends for support because I don’t know which way is up right now.

    Usually, for basic depression i contact a friend who lives near me. I call it basic depression because I can function at a basic level.

    If i have severe depression from my ptsd, I contact an online friend who suffers from ptsd. I know whatever I say will be understood.
