    well...
    my friend is always so open about how depressed she is and how much she wants to die. she always says how bad she feels, but i feel the same way. the thing with me though is ive felt like this for a while, but now i have someone to share it with, but im not incredibly open about it. both of my friends know im sort of like my friend, but i dont think they know how much because ive never been too open about my feelings, ive always just sort of helped others with theirs, but never opened up myself. but now the feelings are just eating me away inside. but my friend has been like that too and my other friend thinks that its bad that she says theres something wrong, but doesnt know what and she tells me that she gets really annoyed at it sometimes. but im pretty much the same way, but neither of them really know it or dont know how much. both are really good friends, but afraid if i tell either of them, my friend might think that im imitating her or something and trying to be a part of this and just a follower. and my other friend might think similar things and get annoyed with me too and that im just being a drama queen because ive never really talked about it before. like today my friend was talking about wanting to die and my other friend asked if i did too and i said 'well....sometimes i do' and then she sighed in frustration like she was tired of it. so id ont know what to do...if i am, and it turns out my friend gets over this or something, ill be all alone again, but theyll know and always be like 'are you okay' and stuff like that, and i realllly dont want that. but if i dont i may be missing a chance to help my friend in her not feeling so alone and everything will just stay all bottled up inside until i just explode. so what should i do? continue to just help others like nothing is wrong...or be more open about it...and am i just thinking too much about this or do i have a right to be worried? I just need some advice please....

    Hey, I have been in your same situation, (or so it sounds like it). It really sucks being depressed, and have other depressed friends who need your help, and other friends who dont accept your other ones. (if that made any sense). All that I did was confided in my other depressed friend, about my feelings, but didnt say too much about it, so that she wouldnt get worse, but try to let her know that you are there for her, and that she isnt alone...but dont make it WAY to obvious for your other friends...(like rambling on about how depressed you are..) but if they say something, stand up for her and others too. because then they might learn that it isnt right to act like every depressed person is following another...I dont know if I helped at all...I hope that i kinda did. I really hope that things get better between you guys, and that you choose the right thing to do.
