View submission: Starting to not do hygiene.
This is amazing. Even some therapists will tell you to just go for a walk or whatever but its hard. Ive been sleeping so bad lately and people telling me to just do anything infuriates me and they get upset bc they think it's helpful but really they know its not. Its just a reflex response of someone who isn't caring

Thank you for your comment!
I would argue with myself and say that there are people who care, but not able to understand or support in a way that’s helpful for those with depression.
I used to explain to those closer to me (because they genuinely wanted to help, so I gave them some perspective) and then they would fall silent and then get uncomfortable and then I’m trying to destress the situation for them and then exhaust myself further.
Now, I stick to therapy, meds, and TMS for depression/Reddit for improving my self worth.
