10 Things Nobody Tells You About Depression

8. You Feel Guilty

One of the factors that can lead to you starting to dislike yourself is how guilty being depressed can make you feel. It€™s a heavy burden to live with, and the guilt you feel can cloud your judgment and make you prone to be extra hard on yourself. Your guilt can stem from feelings of selfishness and uselessness, while you attack yourself for every little failure that might have occurred. You may feel all the more guiltier if your depression starts to affect your social life because the last thing you want to do is drag your loved ones down with you since what possible right do you have to be sad? It€™s your illness and therefore your problem. Wrong.
