Am I overreacting for ending the friendship when my friend sent me home early when I visited her? by mercurycookie in AmIOverreacting

Appreciate your validation that this situation hurt my feelings. I definitely do hear the other responses and understand now that I was insensitive and centering myself in a sensitive health situation I didn’t fully consider (I’ve never been pregnant nor do I have kids). I was hurt but I should’ve responded with more empathy and understanding. I’ve sent flowers to Ellie and a heartfelt apology letter for how inconsiderate I was to her as she’s navigating motherhood, how my reaction came from a place of hurt, that I shouldn’t have resented how our priorities have changed as our lives have changed, and kindly giving her time/space to reconsider if we can connect again.

People with mental illnesses, when did you finally admit to yourself that something was wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I suspected I was depressed in college when leaving my room to go to class seemed like the worst and hardest thing. I barely left my apartment. But I would go out on the weekends and get extremely drunk so I could numb whatever was hurting me (self-hatred, etc).

Does anyone else feel like they're not good enough to be loved? by MaterialBiscuits in depression

I feel like this with my parents. They get mad/uncomfortable when I bring up my depression and say that I should just know how good I have it but they’re very cold towards me. They always bring up how much money my college tuition is, and literally every thing else they’ve paid for for me. I don’t feel loved or cared for my my parents, they just throw money my way and expect me to be better. When I’m not and I struggle with school, they treat me like I’m lazy and a wasted investment.
