So lately I have been feeling depressed, and I've been telling my friends about my situation, how I feel and etc. I don't know why, but the anxiety is kicking in and I feel like I'm a burden on them, I'm dragging them down with me and I don't want to do that. They say they don't really mind really, but for some reason I just can't acceot that. I feel really guilty,its not helping with what I already have, how do i overcome this feeling? The back of my mind thinks they don't care as well, I just don't know anymore :/

If they are true friends, then they do care. They would do anything to help you, and don't think of it as a burden. They want to be there for you, just as I'm sure you would be for them. That's what friends are. They help you through the worst parts of your life. I really doubt they mind, and probably like helping you through it. Don't worry about it.

They care about you, and they want to help. You shouldn't feel like a burden, even though I know the feeling. Friends are there to help, just like you would help them if they were down. Be confident and keep your head up hun! :)

My thoughts exactly.
Your friends want you to be happy. I know I would do anything for my friends. Don't let your anxiety get the best of you. Stay strong :)

I worry about this all the time. I used to lie but one of my friends got really pissed because she knew I was lying and wanted to help. Since then I'm honest with how I feel at least with my two closest friends. Your friends genuinely care about you and want to know what's wrong and how to help.
I know you might feel like a burden but the best thing to do is to make sure you continue asking about them as I'm sure you do. Don't make them think you just use them and they'll be happy to help.

Have you never heard of the saying "A problem shared is a problem halved"?
True friends would want to help you no matter what.
