Everyone around me thinks I\\\'m a happy person but in reality I\\\'m struggling with depression (personal issues). Every time I tell my mom this, she thinks I\\\'m over exaggerating, and starts telling me how her life was worse, I have everything she could\\\'ve wanted as a kid, etc. I brought this up a second time, months later, and the exact same thing happened. Even though I know I could be in a worse situation, I just can\\\'t \\\'get over it\\\'. This makes me feel even worse, because I start thinking how I\\\'m just acting like a brat; it\\\'s like a never ending cycle. Sometimes while telling my mom about feeling sad, she just tries \\\'fixing\\\' my sadness by taking me out somewhere...she\\\'s putting band aids over stab wounds. The band aids work for a short amount of time before they eventually fall off. This makes me feel like an even BIGGER brat, you know, thinking I\\\'m just being stubborn with my feelings.
I\\\'m scared to tell anyone else about my depression because they might think I\\\'m attention seeking and react the same way my mom has. Also, sharing my feelings isn\\\'t something I like doing, for some reason I think it\\\'s embarrassing.
It\\\'s just SO frustrated knowing your trapped in a deep hole while others are enjoying life; knowing you could do that too but your depression doesn\\\'t allow you to.
