A sad place for sad people to be sad.
Have fun!
This community is for people with depression. Memes and general discussion about depression are encouraged and welcome.
Bi-polar people are also allowed to post here but only sometimes.(joke)
This community is aimed at being inclusive for all people with depression and as such should be free of racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, sexism, patriarch and all other forms of hate-speech.
Trolls will be banned!
Thnx

It’s truly special people who actually do everything they can to help you get better, everyone else just assumes that you’re dealing with something personal and that you’ll sort it out yourself. Part of it is boundaries, like nobody really knows what another person is going through or what the root cause of their depression is, and you have to get really real with a person to find that out. Most of the time it’s your own personal labyrinth that you have to find your way out of.
I can certainly see how that would be enigmatic. In my instance I have tried to communicate this but doing so further would feel like begging and annoying in general: which I suppose my existence feels to me at a base level.
