depression symptoms that need to be brought to attention, supported and not demonized:
- not showering/bathing for days or even weeks. (this has nothing to do with laziness – a main symptom of depression is being unable to be motivated)
- not engaging in any social actvities
- staying up and sleeping in till late
- not being able to eat
- neglecting self care as a whole
- spending entire weeks at home, in the same pajamas, in the same bed
- disregarding help/support (nothing against you. we’re just really fucking down.)
don’t shame us. we’re having a hard time managing being depressed in general.
