Where ARE the people with depression?
I have depression. And there are so many people writing in this "depression" category on 7Cups. I see so many people on other platforms too. We all face similar struggles. I am also glad to have found a few channels in which people genuinely wish each other well and give each other support.
Despite this I feel completely lonely battling this depression thing on any level that is not online. Where are all the depressed people in real life?
It seems like wherever I go I am surrounded by people just bragging. Are those people that shallow? It seems like no one around me ever had to deal with anything serious in their lives and they all just walk around and live easily up to the standards of the amazing person they are on their social media.
Or do they? I am also pretty stealth when I walk around. So I find myself looking at people in the supermarket, thinking to myself - Maybe that guy actually has depression...Or that lady, or that other girl -.
Hello @mathstwa !
I am sorry to know that you are dealing with depression. It must be difficult to feel lonely in this illness. I think that people dealing with depression are everywhere in real life, but many people don't want talk about it, and as it is a pretty invisible illness, this is impossible to know if someone haves it or not, except if they want to tell it to you.
I hope you will feel better soon.
