From what I can tell, you look better.

doctor, parents, friends...

Thanks, but, saying “I look better” doesn’t mean I feel better. What, am I supposed to look really run down? I have before, but now since I’m putting effort in to look like my normal self, I cannot be taken seriously. Huh...

how to tell if I'm sad again

•I don’t respond to your texts for days

•I don’t respond to your texts for hours

•I don’t respond to your texts at all

•I respond with short answers

•I sound disinterested in our conversations, texting or not

•I don’t eat/drink/talk as much as usual

•I stare out into space more than often

•I stay in one place/a few places for long periods of time without moving v much

•I lose track of time

•I rub my head/eyes as if I have a migraine

•I talk more quietly than normal

•I don’t talk abt myself at all

•I make cynical comments, especially abt my existence

•I sleep too much or too little

this is not just me, though. these are common signs/things to be aware of and look for in people/friends/family members struggling w depression. stay safe, and stay aware.

She was all alone empty even and no one knew if she was ever there or not And oh they called her summer because she was really only appreciated when she was gone

You can call in “sick with the flu” but you can’t call into work “depressed as hell” so I’m either outright lying to my boss or I’m going into the office. Just the thought of asking for the day off makes my heart race and my mind panicky so this morning anxiety beats depression and I get out of bed to go to work.
