I just think that when you mention that you're feeling low that there is a silence in the room or like its a hush hush situation as if your not allowed to talk about issues of the mind incase you get labelled its saddens me sometimes!

Very good question and observation. I think it's b/c we live in society that emphasizes being successful and there shouldn't be any reason for being sad. There are so many distractions that you don't know if you're coming or going! There's no reason, if not time, to be depressed!
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Kristnamurti
Being down once in a while or even being severely depressed just goes to show that you are human. I don't know how old you are, but my friends and I just tell each other we are down or depressed b/c we've all felt that way at some point or another. Don't be afraid to express yourself w/ someone that cares. Not all will understand, but it will take a while for some to get the fact that life has many ups and downs.

I dislike getting attention to myself at such times and so avoid speaking of it on my own. But I also haven't had a hush-hush situation either, probably because I would mention such a topic only to my closest friends (it's none of the rest's business).
What I like at such moment (if it's not solitude) is some good cheer, and my mentioning I feel low will not help create / maintain that - because everybody will start commiserating and other topics, which I may be interested, will be overlooked.

i'm no longer able to respond to your question yet i will inform you my tale. i became into as quickly as married and in an fairly comparable undertaking as you. Now, by way of my ex figuring out she did no longer must be married to any extent further, i'm $18000 right into a custody conflict and, as much as now, a single father of three unique babies. I made $13000 much less in 2009 than I did in 2008 because of the fact i mandatory to take time with out artwork to guard the childrens and might now no longer artwork an entire 40 hour week. My now ex spouse makes extra money than I do and works better hours than i will and might pay no longer something for infant help. all of the wishing and hoping and intently worded techniques and tiptoeing around frustrating matters will make no substitute to anybody who's desperate and set of their illogical techniques. you should seek counseling for the two one in each of you and pray that some thing will make her come to her senses. basically maximum suitable fulfillment (I mean it. i does not want my significant undertaking on anybody)

Some people get very uncomfortable especially us English with this subject. You have to pick the right time to talk about it and the right person(s). Its no good bringing it up if everyone is having a good laugh or if your drunk, as drunk miserable people are very annoying. However, its very important to talk so don't be put off just find someone who is understanding and work on being happy.

Everyone would fuss over you, and it'd make them feel awkward being around you. I think it's probably a good thing that people shush it u p because it helps them to take their mind off it and get happier, those who tel everyone and just sit there thinking about how depressed they are won't get any better.

We have an inbuilt assumption that to live is to be happy. We feel different and maybe even guilty about depression. Nobody likes to be thought of as different. Perhaps this assumption is a lie ?

Because society frowns on people who shows depression as a sign or weakness.

some people feel uncomfortable talkin' bout depressin' situations, or they think that they wont be of any help, so maybe they'd prefer, not to talk about the situations, so that's why people hide it, to keep from disscussion.
