Oooh ok I saw the stuff on depression and I must say this: CLINICAL DEPRESSION AND BEING DEPRESSED ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. My parents don’t seem to understand this concept, so when I told them I thought I had it, they just kept saying to think positive thoughts and stuff and I’m like that’s not how this works. Clinical depression doesn’t make you sad all the time. Sometimes it just makes you numb. Sometimes it makes you listless/restless. And you can’t just think away clinical depression. If you got it, it’s gonna be a long fight.

@Fraust

Haha I've had clinical depression for 3-4 years and I kinda made jokes about it at school but apparently literally no one knew I was actually depressed. Like, they thought I was always just joking

@Knight-Shives group

I think I might have depression but I have problems actually talking about how I feel. I've seen a therapist. I've gone to a single appointment. it was the introductory. I have to say the whole concept isn't for me.

@Trix

That's another thing. I feel like there are so many jokes about it now that no one realizes these seemingly harmless jokes are almost a way people are asking for help. Like, plenty of people make jokes about dying and aren't serious, but if someone is consistently making the same jokes maybe pay attention student population.

Please adopt me. They don’t understand why it’s stressful for me to do activities that they like and I don’t. Usually I end up getting yelled at and then I’m triggered and just freaking dying the rest of the day. They also keep asking me why I’m sooo tired all the time and why I stay up late. Fun fact: I DONT REALLY HAVE A CHOICE BECAUSE MY DAMN BRAIN WONT SHUT UP AT LIKE FOUR AM. So yeah I’m getting kinda pissed off.

You are now adopted too. Welcome to the family!

@hollow-boned

update i did not have The Chat about the uniform bc the principal was out doing god knows what so we'll have it today after my final and i have to say, not great timing!!! i'll worry about it the whole time

@Pickles group

When you tell someone about something then you go home and realize you told them something wrong and you really wanna fix it cause it's bugging you but you can't because you know they didn't care about the thing in the first place

@Fraust

I have like, sensory issues with food or something. It doesn't matter how good it tastes; if the texture is bad, I can't eat it. So I'm pretty picky oof

Yeah, people think depression is always being sad, but like, for me, I can be happy, I just get depressed really fast. Like, one little thing will ruin everything

@GameMaster group

Lately I don’t even know what to do because for some weird reason my anxiety gets all buggy when this one friend asks us for validation. She’s really self deprecating so she asks us our opinion on EVERYTHING. I don’t really understand why it bothers me but when she does it I usually have to leave the group chat for a while. I tried silencing her but that got me in trouble with another friend and even though I’ve told her how uncomfortable it makes me she keeps doing it and I don’t know what to do.

@Trix

It sounds like she relies on your opinions too heavily because her own self-confidence isn't up there.

@GameMaster group

I know she has some problems of her own (nothing diagnosed like mine. Just low self-esteem) so I don’t really know what to do. I’ve told her that it makes me uncomfortable and she doesn’t stop. I try and help her feel more comfortable in her skin and she doesn’t stop. The last person that made me this uncomfortable was someone who constantly triggered my touch aversion by grabbed my butt, sides, hair, and face. My whole friend group cut that person out because of how disrespectful she was to us. I also feel like the girl that is currently causing me problems seems to self deprecate and then never do anything about it. She complains about being fat (which is total BS by the way) and then talks about eating really unhealthy food and she keeps saying she’s going to workout but never does. I was overweight for a while but I did meal plans, counted sugar, and worked out daily for two months and I got a lot better but she refuses to listen to me. I feel like I can’t talk to her anymore because it’s getting out of hand. Nobody is going to judge her by the color of her hairband (a question that was actually asked).

@hollow-boned

so apparently my cishet (2-day) ex went and told his parents that i'm trans and his parents TOLD THE FUCKING PRINCIPAL. she's known for several months. she called me to her office and talked to me abt it and abt how she could help me deal w stuff and i broke down and cried like three times and my eyes are still stinging and she hugged me and wow now i wanna cry
also i might go talk to the piece of shit bc he had no goddamn right to do that

@Trix

Aww the staff at your school are nice. BUT THAT MF EX WTF.
ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ (dat's an accurate depiction of me preparing to fight)

@hollow-boned

he didnt tell them to hurt me, we used to be best friends and everything. i think the teacher noticed that we suddenly went from constantly hanging out together to shooting daggers at each other from our eyes and she caled the parents in to ask and they told her that we broke up bc i'm trans. idk man cishet ppl just dont understand how this stuff affects ppl's lives.
