I just got back from seeing Love Simon, and at the beginning of the Movie the projector stopped working and we had to wait a while for them to fix it. So this older woman who works there started distributing free tickets to go see a film as compensation. So she hands one to this girl and smiles and says “a lovely girl like you, you could use this with a boyfriend” and there was this unanimous gay pause across the audience and you could tell that every fucKing person was looking into a metaphorical camera like they were on the office.

Things I never knew about depression until I finally had a doctor explain the disease to me

Depression can manifest as irrational anger.

My complete and total inability to keep anything clean or tidy for any amount of time is a symptom of my depression. I may never be able to do this. It’s important that I remember that and forgive myself when I clean something out (like my car) and it ends up trashed within a week.

Depression IS A DISABILITY. Requiring accommodations is okay.

Medications don’t make you better, they don’t cure your depression. They serve as an aid. Their purpose is to help you get to everyone else’s minimal level of functioning.

Depression can cycle through periods of inactivity. This doesn’t mean it’s gone away.

The reason I don’t feel like other people understand me is because … well … other people DON’T understand me. They can’t. They don’t have my disability.

Paranoia is par for the course.

Depression can and will interfere with your physical mobility. Forgive yourself when you can’t physically do something.

It’s entirely possible that I may never be able to live by myself. I can’t take care of myself. I need help to do it. And that’s okay.

As someone who suffers from depression and who experiences all these things as well I think this is important and needs to be reblogged. Depression is a very difficult thing, not only for people who suffer from it, but for everyone who knows a depressed person. My family doesn’t know how to deal with it, my friends try their very best to support me and I have tried to pretend I was fine until I was in ninth grade.

Everything makes so much more sense

Depression is a disease of the brain. The brain is an organ. When organs are not functioning properly, you are advised to see a doctor and get help. So why is it so hard to understand that the brain can suffer as well, and that we need help for it?

The brain controls the body. A sick brain means a sick body.

…. Shit.

Don’t disregard it as just sadness.  Depression is life threatening.

ONE DAY AT A TIME IS SUCH A WHOLESOME SHOW! 

Seriously, it’s on Netflix, and it is so good. Everyone needs to go watch it and I’m not exaggerating. Everyone needs to go watch it or else it won’t be renewed for a third season and we need this wholesome representation in our lives people!

“If we date, you can have your freedom. Go find yourself outside of the relationship and what makes you happy. Have time to yourself. We don’t have to be spending every waking second together. But know that no matter what happens, my arms will always be wide open for you.”
