Depression and Losing Friends

We get it, but please be gentle.

I suffer from horrible, horrible depression so I’m used to losing friends because of it. I can’t speak for other depression sufferers, but I can certainly understand that people may eventually come to a point where they can’t cope with a depressed friend’s moods anymore.

I just want to encourage people who feel they need to end a friendship with a depressed person to please, please *don’t* tell that person that you wish you never met them, messaged them, whatever. We feel bad enough without the message that we were a waste of someone’s time, added nothing of value to a person’s life, and in general regarded as a shitty event in a person’s life.
