People will ask why feeling sad
So, would you open up your heart
May be its something in the air
Days of the fall are just not well
Shadows of the evening
Getting heavier everyday
Better to stay silent
To save the tongue’s slip
But people will never stop asking
Would you let them know?

When they ask, do they really want to know? That is my challenge – how much to tell because I don’t know how much they actually want to listen.

Exactly right!
I feel the same whenever people ask me. Those who are really close to me knows and understand that I’m not an open book, so they respect my privacy but many just can’t understand that, which sometimes bugs me.

I usually don’t tell when I am depressed because I have Bipolar disorder and it is part of life. Too many helpful suggestions from friends is wearisome because these depressions are mainly chemical.

Yes the place where thoughts messages autonomic Nervous System reach the appropriate places are called Synaptic gaps. At these gaps liquids called Neurotransmitters carry the impulses across the gap. In our mood centres Serotonin is the one it causes depression if there is too much and mania if there is too little. Manic depressives have an unbalanced transmitter the moderator,it’s opposite number does not bring about the correct stability.
When one has an emotional depression it is compounded by the existing imbalance.
