depression can be episodic. it is for most people, in fact! it could still be worth talking to someone about
elle?????
i do therapy for anxiety i imagine i would be told if depression were on the table and not just a blip of burnout because [STATIC NOISES]
elle?????
idk i am very reluctant to put that on the table not out of stigma but because ownership of labels comes with a whole lot of stuff
elle?????
idont want to claim terms that do something for other people and make me like some funny clown i guess
tho that sounds fuckin weird typed out
ghost lecturer
elle

don't let imposter syndrome limit you
elle?????
idk if its that either LMAO
more like just being stubborn or petulant
whatever man!!! i'll get over it
ghost lecturer
in all seriousness I do think that the emphasis on diagnosis as labels and not experiences that can come and go is very counterproductive to health
elle?????
i think i can agree w that
unoiled snake
as someone who has had The Depression for a long ass time I don't believe in gatekeeping
unoiled snake
maybe understanding what you're going through as "depression" is useful for you, maybe it's not, but either way is fine
lil shit
ftr therapists cannot diagnose their patients, mine was very careful about suggesting that i had more than depression and then when i met a psychiatrist i was finally diagnosed as bipolar
lil shit
it does sound like u have chronic depression elle
fuck worrying about labels, this is your health
ghost lecturer
as a certified Chronically Depressed Bitch, unoiled snake is right
elle?????
why can't it just be
gets sad sometimes
doesn't everyone just get miserable sometimes
Kᴀᴇʏᴀ
did not mean to start a whole thing about it. Sorry.
elle?????
it's nothing to feel bad about dude ur just being a friend
elle?????
unless being a friend to me is too stressful in which case pls take care of urself instead
Kᴀᴇʏᴀ
all i was trying to say is you don't have to be anything. you are as allowed to feel bad about anyone else. no need to do x to be x
elle?????

elle?????
sorry i hear where everyones coming from and its very much a "that is very reaasonable for other ppl bc they are reasonable but i am in fact not being reasonable"
ghost lecturer
everyone DOES get miserable sometimes. we just want to make sure you don't overlook something if that something might help
elle?????

I'm late to this but I want to be sure to convey that us trying to comfort or advise you is in no way a stress on us. you are our friend and helping you brings comfort to us
chrissed off 💢
also, your plurk is your space to use as you see fit. if that's talking about happy, light things, great. if that's talking about burnout and sadness, also fine. anyone who doesn't want to or isn't able to engage with it can easily mute and move on
unoiled snake
^ what chris said
unoiled snake
you are in no way a burden. that is the brain weasels talking
chrissed off 💢
I have no doubt that if any of us were feeling burdened by anything you said, we would be able to withdraw as we needed to. but we're not doing that. we're here bc we care about you.
doll's eyes 👁️
<3 It is absolutely not a burden. And I also agree that it would be totally fair for you to bring up depression with your therapist bc you have been feeling this way quite a bit lately! so even if you haven't had capital-D depression before, it might be going on now
ghost lecturer
thirding chris
