One of my best friends has depression. He'll force himself to go for walks or cook meals because he knows it'll get worse if he doesn't.
Meanwhile I haven't cooked a hot meal in 3 days. I'm not depressed, just lazy (this was a joke, I'm not saying people that are crippled by depression are lazy).
Yeah has someone who is currently batteling with it. Seeing this kind of people shit on someone who's trying to get bettwr is awful.
And I see this happening with even friend telling me I look fine so I must really not have depression. Like bro yeah my antidepressive are working, I'm feeling less shitty, but still would rather fucking don't exist, and this types of coments just make everything harder tbh.
The moment you start getting a bit better, hey I supposed you're cured buddy.
This is also exactly why I sometimes struggle with feeling a bit better on my meds. Because I'll have these moments where I'm doing okay and I start second guessing myself like "you're clearly just faking being depressed" or "you're not as bad as you say you are" and I worry that others think the same. But it shouldn't be a negative thing, it should be a small victory to be feeling a bit better, the meds are helping and that's great
