One of my friends mom said they were all afraid of me. I don't know why.
See I have depression and I have told my friends. They are nervous I might take my own life because I get bullied. They care but they avoid me. One of my friends mom said they were all afraid of me. I don't know why. Though one really great friend is there for me. And not scared of me. I just am more depressed now.

The problem with depression is people don't understand what depression is. They confuse clinical depression with manic depression. Actually they really don't confuse the two, they don't know the difference. They think all depression is manic depression or bipolar disorder.
As you may be aware clinical depression is more easily controlled, even cured or put in remission, through medication and talk therapy. Manic depression or bipolar disorder can be controlled with medication but there is more problems with someone who is bipolar being compliant with medication.
I explain my clinical depression to people as being a lot like diabetes in that my body is not secreting enough of certain hormones to control depression just like a diabetic cannot regulate their sugar. Bipolar disorder is truly a mental illness that requires strong psychotropic drugs to control.
If you have been diagnosed as clinically depressed and in treatment for clinical depression you are not a threat to yourself or anyone else. If you were you would be hospitalized. This is what people do not understand and what people like you and I have to explain to them. Manic depressive people who are in treatment and compliant with there medications are usually not a threat to themselves or anyone else. Again if they are in treatment and thought to be a treat to themselves or anyone else they would be hospitalized.

It opens to a page requesting donations, just close that pop-up and the site page activates.

I say one day go up to your so called friends and say I want the honest truth why are you afraid of me.
Hopefully they will tell you the truth......
Please don't be depressed. I mean its not like its a bad thing. Everyone will and gets depressed at least once in there life time. If you get bullied your friends should help you. Not be afraid of you. If your friends really cared they would try to be by your side and help you through all of you problems and other stuff.
