When you suffer with depression or anxiety your sense of reality is totally fucked.

These are some things you know I do if you are my friend

I say sorry a lot because I& #39;m afraid my weakness is somehow making you hate me or I& #39;m genuinely afraid that I& #39;ve upset you

I ask if I& #39;m being annoying because I genuinely think that you find me insufferable

If people don& #39;t get in touch or want to see me, invite me to things etc I assume it is because I am a downer, an irritant, an embarrassment or too much hassle.

I find it to cope in some situations that seem perfectly normal and fear I make people think there is something wrong with them that produces this reaction in me

I get really upset and cry because of the intensity and shame, not because I& #39;m an attention seeking prick.

I text or tweet people a lot not because I& #39;m an obsessive clingy weirdo but because silence scares me and I start to catastrophic that I& #39;ve upset you somehow.

I insist I am OK when on the inside I& #39;m screaming for someone to look at me and just say & #39; I know you& #39;re not and I& #39;m here for you& #39;. Not seeking attention but trying not to admit the isolation that depression brings.

That I don& #39;t know how much longer I can do this but know that it will be over before I give in.

That I would love to meet up but I can& #39;t get out of bed, that I will be there in an instant to help you even if I& #39;m feeling down, that when I go quiet it& #39;s not because I& #39;ve nothing to

say, that I know you& #39;re not sure of what to do because I am just as confused.

I& #39;m not over-reacting, being silly or stupid, I don& #39;t need to hear things I can easily call myself. Exasperation or condescension sounds like "why don& #39;t you just go?"

I would beg for your patience and ask you understand I always mean to be a good friend and not to give up on me. I know it& #39;s not easy.

Basically I know at heart I& #39;m a good person but often I can& #39;t believe anyone else knows or cares that I exist. Yes I am flipping Eeyore
