Today my best friend tells me I would feel so much better if I ate more fresh fruit and veg and exercised more.

I felt amazing lonely after she said that. I realized that nobody's ever going to know what having depression is like. I would love to eat fruit for breakfast. I would love to workout. I would love to just wake up one day and not have to sleepwalk through life, feeling like I've got a thousand-pound chain wrapped around me. It would be so good to be able to do normal things like go to the market or gym without being paralysed with anxiety.I feel so bloody angry when people tell give me their 'think positive' speech. Do I look stupid? Don't you think if it were possible for me to do these things I would do them?. I know they mean well but still, it ticks me off so much when people trivialize my illness. And this coming from a person who I trust so much.
