Today, I finally spoke to my best friend about how she has been really quiet lately. She told me that she had depression and it was my fault. FML.

Actually depression isn't something you can just turn off. It's never ending.

OP, I wouldn't blame yourself unless you've directly done something to cause that. She's probably just lashing out because she doesn't have any support.

how is that your fault? Depression is a state of mind. its up to her to decide whether or not she wants to continue being depressed. no one is to blame.

While I agree that it isn't OP's fault,I do not agree on your idea of depression. I can promise you that no one chooses to be depressed. It's an illness that takes lots of work to overcome. For some people,it can never really be cured so much as managed. For you to act as if depression is something that can easily be turned off/on like a light switch shows the true extent of your ignorance when it comes to mental illnesses. Please educate yourself on things BEFORE you comment. Thank you.
