Depression Journal

This is only a story i wanted to tell

So I'm pretty sure I mentioned this but I think I have a friend faking depression, and so I went to Quora.com and asked the question
"What should I do with a friend who I'm almost positive is faking depression?"
And I get this response

I responded with:

But today
I found out
That she had been talking to one of my depressed friends about her feelings
Found some glass on the ground
And said she was going to cut herself with it
My friend told the guidance counselor
And we thought she was pulled out of school
But we saw her and she isn't answering any texts
I feel bad that I thought it was fake depression
But the way she kept talking about it was basically like
"Yeah I know it's hard to believe but I have depression yeah I also scratch myself boo hoo me"
And it seemed off by the way she was talking about it
I am currently writing this after school and since I found out I've been about to cry and it's been really hard managing my depression
I keep having to walk away from my friends and take a few deep breaths before going back to pretending that I was happy and laughing with them

Also while my friend was telling me and my other friend about it, my other friend knows I have depression, and kept subtly supporting me like putting her hand on mine and kind of changing the subject so I wouldn't get too sad, I think she realized I was about to cry.

I'm sorry I'm selfish and a bad person

One more thing a while later,
She talked to her parents and she doesn't need any meds, therapy, or hospital stuff because apparently after talking about it to her parents she felt so much better and isn't depressed anymore. I think this might have just been a case of a bad mood and believing that people won't like you. It might be depression, but when it goes away just like that, it might have not been.
