Depression: Do you feel that your support system understands your needs?

Hello everyone!

How are you doing today? 😊

Living with depression can feel isolating, and having a strong support system can make a world of difference. But sometimes, even our closest friends and family might not fully understand what we’re going through. Miscommunication or lack of awareness can make it hard to express our needs, leaving us feeling unheard.

Do you feel like your support system understands your experience with depression?
What’s been helpful in helping your loved ones understand what you need?
Are there resources or conversations that have improved your relationships during difficult times?
