No one actually likes you when you're depressed. Plain and simple. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They see you as negative, a burden, and someone too heavy to handle.
I apologize if I don’t reach out anymore. My life is falling apart. I’m sad almost every time, fighting for my life every day, second guessing my career path, tired from a job I don’t like, confused, and sleeping whenever I get free time just to escape reality.
I'm 36 and I feel behind with life achievements and all. My mates have big houses and cars and beautiful families and I'm here just living a day at a time
@linda_mot@Vhoyde This is because we spent sleepless nights designing complex plants, battling thermodynamics and fluid mechanics concepts only to be told there were no opportunities because no further innovation will be needed. While the banks offered R650k straight from the graduation hall 🙃
Nobody is more mentally drained than a young man in his 20s or 30s facing betrayal while watching his peers move ahead in life-and carrying financial pressure, expectations, and constant comparison in silence.
