On Depression

(Couldnt I have talked about something happier after all this time? No)

So as you probably know Robin Williams died recently, due to depression. It is sad :c how someone who made so many people laugh was himself so unhappy. 

This post btw isnt about Robin Williams but about general unhappy. 

Depression is something that is diagnosed, you go to a doctor when youve been feeling low for a long time and thats what they tell you. Then you can tell other people and then they can understand simply why you cant snap out of it. 

But then there are so many people who suffer in silence, who maybe are just having a hard time or think that they cant possibly have depression and cannot bother their loved ones by making a thing about it. 

What about them?

You wont treat them differently because you dont know. Because they cant talk to someone. They are stuck feeling low or just blank and nobody will help. Cant tell them to snap out of it either. 

It difficult to explain but even though they havent been diagnosed it doesnt mean they arent feeling as bad as someone who has. 

So treat everyone the same way. 

Example- I wouldnt go as far to say ive ever suffered depression but Ive had times, that can last for months at a time where Ive felt simply awful. Lose interest in everything, thinking it would a lot easier to not exist, or feeling completely numb and indifferent to everything. Its not fun. Even right now my mood goes up and down several times a day, its tiring. 

From an outsiders point of view my

problem wouldnt be so big of a deal, Id get over it. Right? Someone over there had depression so stop moaning. Wrong. 

Be mindful of people. Someone diagnosed with a mental illness (so not just depression, stuff like anxiety) does not become more important to worry about than someone whos not. 

For all you know the only difference is having a doctors opinion or not. 

Saying that if you do think youre suffering from depression, or any problem...

Talk to someone

 Family, friends, co-worker, even the internet can be like a massive support group.

Bottling up and hiding isnt healthy and there is no way it will help you. Just gotta have a bit of courage right? 

If you need help find it, and if someone comes to you for it, help them.
