misterpeace: The thing I wish I could communicate about depression is that you don’t wish for it and you can’t wish it away. People who are not themselves prone to depression think it’s kind of like being in a bad mood and they’ll say well-intentioned things like “Hey, cheer up!” or “You… so true…

Some advice
wellthatsjustgreat: If you know someone who is depressed, please don’t tell them, “I just wish you were happy.” We wish that too. But all that you are doing is letting us know that in addition to being a disappointment to ourselves, we are now also a disappointment to you. Which, I should probably explain, doesn’t exactly help the situation. Ag
