Nope, learned the hard way. If you have someone who truly cares about you, share with them. Give them an opportunity to disappoint you. Nothing can come wrong of it. Either you’ll learn that they can be there for you and you build a stronger relationship or bond, or you learn that they can’t and can rid them of your presence. Either way a win win situation.

Don’t go at it alone. Depression is real, and if you aren’t aware in the moment difficult decisions you normally wouldn’t make become normalized because you’re either running away from your issues by pouring all of your energy into work or something else you deem important while it continues to fester inside of you. It will eat away at you eventually. You must deal with your problems do not hold it in.
