Thanks

i have depression..
well for me. i hate talking to people about my feelings because i get all embarresed and feel like its wrong. i also feel like if i tell someone somethign they'll tell people.
also im constantly crying. i feel sad and shut people out because i dont want anyone around me when im sad.
if someone says something mean to me, even if their kidding i get upset and cry. i mean i cant help it?. and if i tell people all the things that are bothering me im afraid they'll make fun of me
i dont know. theres so much more. i cant explain why i dont want to reach out to someone. i mean i do. but im just scared.
i hope that helped? -

I have found this to be true in many cases. Depressed people don't always take the steps necessary for help. One of the reasons is people who have a true deep clinical depression believe that even little things are overwhelming. Setting an appointment, going to it, and actually talking to a Dr about how they are feeling is a big task for someone who is depressed. In other words in some cases of depression they just can't get themselves together enough to take the first steps alone.

It's not always quite that easy. I had depression and most of my problem was that I didn't want to talk to anyone because every time I tried to talk to someone, I would just get frustrated. My therapist always always tried to say things she really knew nothing about. She even talked about my mom once. I didn't want help. In my mind, I didn't need help. But I can see now that I really needed it.

Hey, my cousin is suffering serious depression right now. She can't reach out because she doesn't think to. There is a chemical imbalance in depressed people's brains that make them think differently. They need someone to get help for them.

They wouldnt think they could be helped. Depressed people dont think that reaching out for help would work

It's not easy to reach out. back when my friend was depressed, she didn't want anyone to know. of course, looking back, it was obvious but she was scared that people would change the way the look at her or treat her or that people would get involved and make her life even worse and push her over the edge and she'd end up killing herself. sometimes that keeps people from doing it but i'm sure there's all kinds of reasons. <3

because they're depressed!
They don't think anyone cares. they think its their fault for letting them become sad and not doing anything about it themselves without them asking, so they think they should take the hint and help them without him/her having to tell them somethings wrong. Sometimes they might think that if the world let them get depressed, the world isnt that good and that they are way better than the ppl that should be helping them.
sorry if its not clear to understand but i hope i helped.

When someone is depressed they don't believe that anyone cares about them and so they won't reach out to those whom they know. Usually they smother their cries out for help by hurting themselves. They feel that they can only feel better by hurting themselves first.

Sometimes they feel that no one can really help them, which is true most of the time.
Sometimes they just want to deal with the depression on their own.
Sometimes they even feel it wouldn't really matter if they did ask for help because no one really cares.

They dont think they can get help. Their alone and not really wanting to open up to somone.. That's one of the main causes of depression. Not having somone to talk to.

They dont realize that they can get help, they find themself alone, so therefor they feel nobody can help them.

Probably because they think that they are hopeless. They don't think that anyone or thing can help them. They may be ashamed, in denial, or just simply don't know that they are depressed.

Usually they're in denial and don't realize that they're depressed.
Or they don't have anyone to reach out to, which could be part of the depression.
If you know anyone who is depressed, you should probably try to help them out even if you don't know them that well.
From first hand experience, it's always better to go through something like that and know that someone out there cares anyway.

hey
think it is because they dont think anyone cares enough to help them, or they might be ashamed to admit they are depressed and get help.
im not too sure though,
maybe researching depression on the internet might help you?
