Yeah, I'm not shy about my depression. It's not a focus of my life, because I hate when people do that, but it is a daily thing I have to deal with, and trying to hide it doesn't help. The stigma that people who admit to depression get is unbelievable and undeserved. As a community we used to support people in pain, now we ostracize them. Fucked up. I mean, if my friends don't know, how are they supposed to react/act when I have my bad days. Not being honest with them means not being honest with myself about what that aspect of me...whether it's permanent, long term, or just passing.
I hope you have an awesome day as well!
