If I say I'm alright, when I'm not, people will worry less.
If I say I'm not alright, when I'm not, people will worry and want to help.
Then, I don't know how to be helped. So they worry and offer as much help as they would have if I was "alright."
If I can't be helped by anyone but myself, why ask for help?
If I can't help myself, asking for help is useless because I don't know how to be helped.
I fade away, because people let me.
I fade away, because if I can't be helped, I don't want to be a buzz-kill at the party.
I fade away, because I say I'm alright, but can't figure out how to be helped, even if I told people I wasn't alright, and needed help.
Depression sucks.
