I’m completely better now (thanks, medication!), but when I was in the early days of my depression, an acquaintance told me that she loved seeing me because I was the happiest person she had ever met. Really made me realize how fake I was to people that weren’t close to me.
As a person who has loved someone with depression- this is a difficult truth. It was difficult to understand why I wasn’t worth it to make the effort to be happy around, but everyone else was. Everyone got the fun loving person, I dealt with the miserable one. It really made me believe I was either the source or part of the reason of this persons depression.

Only relevant if you haven't pushed your loved ones away permanently yet.
