as someone who is diagnosed with depression and anxiety, it's very comforting to see that some people understand. i'm so tired of people calling me lazy for not having the strength to go through the day and the motivation to live.
we are always tired because we use every bit of strength just to get up
thank you for understanding people like me.
Thanks for saying this, as someone who has depression and mild anxiety, it honestly made me feel bad to see people saying these things
Thank you so much for the understanding...glad you say that here(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you. I've currently been in a self-destructive mode. Not to the point where I want to physically injure myself, but where I know I haven't been taking care of myself lately for the past 6 months. I've always denied the fact that I might have depression that maybe I'm just a really lazy and gross individual. But as the days continue, they all seem the same and I find myself not sleeping at night only to lie in bed all day. I don't know what's wrong with me, I haven't seen a therapist. I can't afford it, and I don't know if I should tell my parents that I might be suffering from depression. I feel like if I do come out and say it, it's like I just want to get attention. I don't want to disappoint them if it turns out I don't have depression and I'm just a lazy person with bad habits.
Sorry about the rant, I just really needed to get my thoughts out there. I don't feel comfortable with telling the people irl about these kinds of things. So, thank you for listening to me and my little rant and I hope you all have a great day (▰˘◡˘▰)
Its okay friend, pls take your time to recovery yourself and if you have too you can meet the doc coz you know i face the same things now. Of course we cant make others people to understand us, we the only one that can understand our situation the most u know. Actually one of my relative have the worst depression and her family deny it until now coz their family should be normal. Both parents can't accept what happen to their daughter. She need to make appointment checkup with doc, take medicine and need go to trainning before its turn more worst. Smtime ahe will hurt herself. Well right now she under recovery and the good things is she surrounded herself with some good peoples that can understand her. My point is no one know depression is feeling until you face it or you have experience about it. So just chill out...only you know yourself better. Yess its take time to recovery back as yourself but surely it will happen and just dont give up about your life. Smtime our existing is really meaningful to others peoples. We live in this world with a purpose. Find your purpose.. surely it will come and ignore others that cant understand you. Your time is too precious to waste on them. Btw tq for reading and really sorry for my broken english coz it not my native language(⌒▽⌒)
Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words. You're english is pretty good for it not being your native language. I know my english took a while since my native language was spanish. Thanks again for your advice, I'll definitely take it to heart. I hope you have an amazing day and thanks for being an amazing person. (=・ω・=)
You too friend, Do take care...May God always bless you(⌒▽⌒)
I am very disappointed with this comment section. Can we please stop stigmatizing mental illnesses??! What we’re not going to do is label her actions as “just being lazy.” People with depression are constantly labeled as lazy for not being unmotivated and living in a dirty setting. Please stop saying this is disgusting and you can’t emphasize with her. It is unhealthy, but saying harmful things like that doesn’t help anyone, especially the people who relate to this character heavily. They ARE reading this comment section and you’re only making them feel worse.
I didn’t think this needed to be said, but no MENTALLY WELL person lives in a situation like this (unless they have to) for 3 months especially when they have maids at their disposal. She is clearly showing major signs of depression or at least being mentally unwell.
Also don’t say “only a therapist can diagnose a mental illness”, that’s classist. Although it is advised to see a therapist, not everyone can afford to see one. Therapists understand that and some of them have created resources to help people diagnose themselves and have listed things people can do to help themselves until they can afford to see a therapist.
I just want anyone who is reading this to know that you are VALID if you have self-diagnosed yourself because you are unable to see a therapist. You are VALID if your depression is so bad that you’re living like this right now. I know you’re doing the best you can do and I sincerely hope you get better and have some type of support system if you can’t see a therapist <3.
