Common question: Why Should I care?

This is where we start falling apart. We believe from what other people tell us that we must tell everyone about what we're feeling. We have to tell them how it works and why they should save us. This couldn't be further from the truth. You don't tell anyone who isn't ready to accept this issue, much like you wouldn't ask a plumber how to write the next great American Novel.

Measure who you can talk to and why you should talk to them. Do they understand your depression? Are they aware of how it feels to be depressed or even suicidal? Consider this before you start talking to someone about it. Nothing hurts more than pouring out your heart and soul to someone who is disconnected from your world.
