Been Depressed lately; it's wierd how people think because you retain a sense of humor you must not be that depressed 😑

@Justmeraeagain I feel that. Humor is often a shield

@ChiefJustWalks It's easier than explaing
@Justmeraeagain I just love how people want to dictate my depression. Like dude, I’m not you. I totally feel this in my soul and am sorry it happens to you too.
@Justmeraeagain @ChiefJustWalks Humor, anxiety, even horniness can get all wrapped in and mixed up together when I have a bad episode. It sucks trying to explain it because I feel like I’m having to justify my own mental illness. It totally sucks.

I just wish they could understand that I’m nothing like them but that doesn’t make my shit any less real.
@Justmeraeagain hope you are well. 🖤🤗
