Should I tell my family that I might be depressed
| If you don't trust them to give you the necessary attention you need, well, I wouldn't say don't bother, but I wouldn't exactly recommend bringing it up on the dinner table. Getting ignored would probably hurt you, but if you don't think they'll actively belittle you for being open with them, it could be worth a shot confiding with the one you're closest to.
| If you don't think they'd actively harm you if they knew, then tell them. Depression and really just mental illnesses/disorders/disabilities in general are not things you can just casually take care of on your own. If you have depression then it's important that the people around you are aware and that you have access to help. If none of them take it seriously then nothing has changed, if even just one of them take it seriously that could potentially be life saving
| >>934055 it looks like you went in isolation for some "reasons" but couldn't hold it since you've "ghosted". So you still went to seek connection. So you can't beat it anymore, since your connection in society is weak. The point that you could view is like separating a single ant from its colony. It gets stressed out into just dies. You're that ant. You couldn't learn to become solitary so you need to go back.
| If you need an independent path then you need to deal with your insecurities right away.
Depression is not a free ticket for getting free pity events. It's a condition that means to you that you're suppressing an important part of yourself for denying's sake just because your current self needs a cave where to refuge and understand themselfs. It's the taxing downside of such convenience for those who do not know how to rightly use this situation.
| Neither way odd are that people who you don't talk for long do still care about you. So unless you were the punching bag of every connection you were into, you're still fine.
I've connected back with many friends even after 5 years or more.
| THE MAIN PART OF THIS IS TO GET THE FUCKING HOLD OF YOURSELF! What the fuck are you and what you want from life? Now DRAW THAT LINE STRAIGHT!
You sound like you'd be about to be dragged into oblivion and be willed to follow any sort of "help" you can see.
Stop with the self deprecation.

Find some people that will reciprocate you're feelings as a buffer.
Preferably therapy of some sort or go on the app vent or equivalent. There are quite a few people that use mental illness as an identity on there but I had some nice supportive, reciprocal and useful conversations using those types of apps.
Like a gym buddy but for depression. You can try your fam buts that's you're call, we can't really guage it.
| certified larp thread
| >>934144 your existance is a larp that made beliefs into a creation that becomed addicted to a feedback necessary to fuel its condensed influence that make the path for it to replace itself.
| Ultimately it will come down to your decision to get yourself out of the hole. I feel like you have been in it so long that the hole is starting to look and feel like home. Understand that this is not your baseline. Do everything to fight out of it. Ask for help. Begin doing things to benefit yourself. Workout. Eat well. Stop drinking. Take care of your body. Read. Write. Play guitar. Do something. I've been there... You must fight.
| Or you will succumb.

| I haven't been doing well since 2020, and I've been denying it cuz honestly I thought it's a trivial thing. It took me a social self isolation, burn out, and failing college to finally admit somethings wrong.
Since I already self sabotaged by ghosting my friends for so long, it'll be a bit too scummy to suddenly ask them for help.
My parents and sibling, I don't have the best relationships with. I'm basically an ignored family member.
Do I tell them or deal with it on my own?
