Wedding showers are supposed to be fun. I think you should go, but if you think you’re just gonna get more depress then maybe you should stay at home. You wouldn’t bring everybody else down. But I think it would be a great up lifter to go. My sister is getting married July 8 and I’m giving her a party Friday July 6th. I don’t have much money cause it’s all going on the wedding. But I plan to have a blast anyway….
Go to the party and let what ever is depressing you go for a while and enjoy your self….

Is it something about the shower that depresses you, or are you not interested in the shower more because you're depressed?
If the depression is keeping you from this and other potentially fun things, then you do need to get out of the house...but the first thing you need to do is look into counselling. Depression is a serious problem and can be caused by either trauma or hormonal inbalance. Either way, get yourself checked out and look into ways of managing your problem. Depression can be debilitating, but it can also be kept in check. Don't let depression rule your life.
If you're depressed about the shower because you're unhappy about the wedding for some reason, then you're well within your rights to stay home. Just keep in mind that might be hurtful to your cousin if handled badly.
Take care of yourself.

You don't want to go because you're depressed? I've been in the same position before but, I'll still be the first to say that this is just selfish. She's getting married and wants you to be at her wedding shower. It's not like if you don't go, you're missing out on going to the movies with a group of friends... You're missing something that actually goes. So try doing what a lot of us do... fake a smile and go. Maybe if you pretend to be happy, you'll actually become happy.
& whatever you're depressed over... deal with it. Think of twenty year old girls that die suddenly of cancer or five year olds that are murdered by their own step-father and thank God that you're alive. Don't sit around by yourself crying over pathetic problems because that's not fair to the people that don't get the chance to live. Whatever you're going through, somebody else has either been through it, is going through it or has it a lot worse than you. Feel lucky, not depressed.

It might help to get out among other people, although that probably sounds terrible right now. Just go for at least thirty minutes out of respect for your cousin and the family. And, I encourage you not to get too comfy at home all the time. Life is for the living... strive to find help so you can participate , too.

Go, depressed people absolutely need to get up, get dressed and get out of the house. This is a ready-made excuse. Get there early, help set up, and be one of the last to leave. Get one of the other relatives to take you to her house and make yourself useful there.

if you think you can go and make the day about her and at least pretend to be happy, you should. It would be a nice gesture. Its a happy time and she wants to celebrate with family and friends.
But remember, the day IS for HER. if youre going to be sad and mopey, dont go. You'll bring her and everyone else down.

You should attend...any time you can get outside yourself for a bit, the better off you will be...I know depression (personally) and the more you stay home and dwell on how crappy you feel, the crappier you WILL feel...

I think it would do you the world of good to go and be involved in the celebration life is too short.

Get over yourself... it's not about you. It's her wedding day and you can't not go for selfish reasons.
