Does everyone treat you kindly when you're depressed?

It's this weakness that attracts people's attention everyone of the employees were so kind to me. It's bizarre, do you guys get the same experiences?

Not exactly. The only time people treat me kindly is when they hear that I'm recovering from anorexia.

@Kinemortophobia You had anorexia and depression, that's tough. How did you recover?

@SwanNual An amazing support is part is great and helps a bit. But I think it hit home when I watched someone bury their family member with an eating disorder. I want to be around for my wife and kids, I'm reminded by my therapist that the journey is touch and I may fall of the horse a few times, but to get right back on.

I'm also timid and docile when depressed, but when someone ticks me off, all hell set lose the devil dogs

I don't ever show it, well I try not to show it.. Most people in my life know about my depression though, including co workers but the most I ever get is constant questions about how I'm feeling and I always lie so that they are never uncomfortable

I see a therapist once a week, that is actually required of me if I want to keep my job.. but anyway been doing that since I was 11ish years old.. Talking about it doesn't help as much, it never gets away what I'm feeling and just makes me dwell on it.. AAAnyway I hope you are doing alright

@PlumBerries Maybe you can talk to someone who could relate to that feeling but someone you trust instead of a therapist, a group gathering. I used to be at a book club at a psychiatric ward in a hospital. It's better than talking to therapists though.

Thanks for asking *hugs*, I'll manage I can still laugh at myself and I have someone who's willing to listen to me talk for six hours and talk back so I don't feel so shitty when I can't sleep so I'll be fine I think :D

nah I have done group therapy before and I cant talk when I'm in groups like that. I have severe social anxiety also and I am very quiet in person. I'm more of a listener. I was forced to do it when I was put in hospitals though and I couldn't handle it. Overall I am doing the best I have been in so long.

I'm really gald to hear you have someone for you that you can do that with and a sense of humour is always a great thing :)

No knew that I was depressed at the time

SwanNual · 31-35, F

@TacoCat You'd managed to hide it then, I couldn't haha it's written all over my face.

TacoCat · 26-30, M

@SwanNual not hide it I just didn't talk to people so no one noticed

SwanNual · 31-35, F

@TacoCat I see, but I have to it's work and it's odd really odd how people can detect it.

I tend to keep a straight face. But people notice I'm more reserved and unhappy
