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

something I've been thinking about for a while...I've had anxiety and depression for so long, I don't even remember who I really am. This shit started in middle school and I'm now in my mid 40's. Anxiety and depression ARE who I am. This is how it's probably going to be for the rest of my life.

Yeah depression and anxiety don't tend to get better with age if left untreated.

You don't have to live like that. Have you seen a shrink or therapist in the past?

To be fair, you wouldn’t be Rowsdower if you weren’t constantly depressed and drunk. /s

My condolences. I’ve never been hospitalized for my depression, so I don’t know what it’s like, but I hope it’s a good experience that helps you.
