Friends will always say, "You can talk to me." And you know when there's a suicide, people all over Facebook post that feelgood message of, "Talk to me. Id rather talk to you know and help than to talk at your funeral."

But honestly? It feels like an attention seeking behavior to just poke a friend to say, "Hi, I'm really depressed and want to talk about that." It feels like an imposition, and it makes me feel like I'm somehow being disingenuous.

I want to talk to someone. I want them to know how I am. I want them to know I'm not okay. I want someone to reach out their hand to keep me from drowning.

But I feel like asking is cringe. I feel like implying or letting on in any way that you're sad is seen as an inconvenience to others.

So what about you guys? Do you reach out to people when you're low? If so, how do you usually do so?
