When asking the people in my life for support and compassion when I am feeling particularly blue I seem to be face with adversity...most of them seem to have too much going on to be there for me, even though I am always there when they ask me to be.  Also I have had a few friends make me feel as if it is my fault I am depressed and that they have nothing to offer to me, even just time, they make me feel guilty for what I am feeling, and often times make the situation much worse than if I would have just kept my mouth shut and holed up in my house.  Every site I have looked into says to not be afraid to ask for help from family and loved ones, but I tend to not get any compassionate response.
