“So, I love my friends, I love spending time with them, talking to them, being with them, I truly enjoy their company. But I'm the kind of person that gets overwhelmed easily, it's like every 1min of the day I spend 1% of my energy. I'm dealing with depression, the kind of depression in which a person behaves very normally laughing, talking and enjoying the other people and still being depressed, they have an idea about me being depressed but they just don't want to acknowledge it. So, I get overwhelmed by convos. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone, and when I don't text my friends or reply to them, then they start asking why don't you reply, why are you not being there, are you okay and all, that honestly overstimulates me a lot and burdens me a lot. I wish I could ask them to leave me alone for some time, actually I've tried it once, but it didn't end well, so know I don't know what to do or how to deal with them. If I'll ask them to give me space, they may start thinking that I hate them or I'm annoyed, they won't believe me in any way. They are good friends of mine, and I don't want to hurt them by asking some space so, what should I do”

You have to talk to them. They wont know whats making you so sad if you dont tell them. And if they truly love you, they will never be bothered.
