It took me a moment to realize they ‘Depression” as in the era of depression and not the emotional state of being.
my mom found out i have suicidal thoughts today and she was like shocked like GIRL u know i got major depression you know how it is because YOU ALSO have major depression we on that same bullshit
so basically i had to sit her down and be like “okay u dont wanna hear this but that sucks so listen up ive been having suicidal thoughts since i was 12 it aint even an issue anymore. my reaction to suicidal thoughts is just “cool are you done? can i go back to my day or yall gonna be a drama queen today?” like the depression isn’t even an issue anymore im just tired of it im DONE fuck off” so we bonded over that and then talked about our attempts/near attempts and it was just nice to be able to be candid without people flipping the fuck out for once and god
she was at her worst around 20 and ive already got 8 years under my belt at 20 so shes proud of how strong i am bc she was going through hell at 20 when i did it at 12
and it was nice to be able to talk to her not as mother/daughter but rather as two equally depressed pieces o shit that are fuckin tired and willing to knife fight our mental illnesses in a fuckin Walmart parking lot

Oh fuck r u not allowed to donate eggos if you have a family history of mental illness? Cause I got depression/alcoholism/suicidal tendencies on one side and and depression/bipolar/suicidal tendencies on the other lmao. On a totally unrelated note can I just pay to have all my eggies taken out
yeah they’re super uptight about bodily donations. in the US you STILL cant donate blood or plasma if you’re gay because “ahhh the AIDS,,,,,, you can’t have people (who are DYING) get Gay Blood transfusions or they’ll get the Gay AIDS”

Girlfriend application compatibility question: do you keep your depression pile on the bed or on the floor?

I just found out that both of my grandparents on my mom’s side had paranoid schizophrenia and my mom has started showing symptoms. I’ve ended up with her depression (ik ik there’s a lot of factors going into depression but it’s also genetic) so we’re off to a good start. Then!! My grandparents on my dad’s side had severe depression and my father has depression and OCD so I’m just set up in a great position to end up a mental train wreck grEAT
something I had no idea was related to depression: the inability to concentrate. apparently its one of the major symptoms of depression and i had no idea like i thought i might have had ADD or just that something was wrong with me and my brain just wasn’t good enough to keep up but god i feel so much better knowing that it’s a symptom of depression?
me: idk my depression just gets worse in the spring,, for years it’s always gotten worse in the spring,,, like a seasonal thing,,,
dr: well it’snot seasonal depression bc that is in the winter

Is depression just depressive episodes or there are just depressed days? Iβve just been diagnosed but Iβm terrified of talking to my therapist abt it and donβt have anyone, and i trust u + google only talks about depressive episodes. Thank u spacemom i love u
In my experience depression is just all over the place. I’ll get depressive episodes that last from a week to a month, and during those depressive episodes I’ll have depressive days where it feels so much worse than the episode. Sometimes I’ll have a depressive day that will put me into a depressive episode. Like I just break down from stress one day and it takes like a week to recover. I don’t usually have depressive days outside of / preceded by a depressive episode, though.
There’s also Double Depression (yes that’s a real thing) that’s similar. It’s characterized by a low, ‘mild’ depression that is persistent for years with the occasional onset of severe depression at times, although the cycle for this appears to be much more stretched out than what you’re experiencing.
