Stuff ppl with #depression hate hearing: "Well, you don't *look* depressed."
@Impious_Jade Apparently, you're supposed to look like everything's perfectly normal and show no symptoms that might make a person who doesn't face your challenges feel briefly uncomfortable.
Or you're supposed to be such a mess that you need to be dragged off by men in white coats.
You can't just be suffering and want relief from it, apparently.
@Impious_Jade But if you _do_ show signs of depression, you get shit for it, and treated badly.
Gee, I wonder why depressed people try to "maintain" so they can get through the day dealing with people.
Okay, motherfucker, what am I SUPPOSED to look like, then? You got some idea of what #depression LOOKS like, that we're supposed to adhere to so you know about it? Is there a uniform or something?
