   First and foremost I think the most important part about roleplaying with depression is fully acknowledging and accept you are in fact, depressed, and it will just have an effect on you. No matter what, there’s just no miracle cure to depression and you will have to deal with the symptoms of being depressed. 

Now then, there are a few things that can make it easier:

Roleplay is not a job, you are not obligated to do it. Your depression is lying to you with that guilt you feel for having all those drafts.

You won’t be able to do as much, or you might just do more depending on your depression and how you deal with the stress from it. It affects everyone differently. Personally; I do more roleplaying when I’m depressed since it’s my coping skill and how I distract myself, though sometimes it is also too much and my blog will be dead for days. Both are chill.

Start a reply until you can’t type anymore and then just draft that puppy, even if it’s just Spongebob The Essay at first. It’ll be there whenever the next line hits you, you don’t have to finish a whole reply in one go, who said you had to do that.

AU’s??? I love to just think up of AU’s when I’m depressed, let your brain just go. Happy AU’s, sad AU’s, self indulgent AU’s- there are no rules in the jungle.

Lurking is fine, and a lot of your mutuals really enjoy it. Just being there to like and reply is so appreciated, roleplaying is more than just being a thread machine. 

Your depression might try and tell you how things are, but it’s wrong. This applies to more than roleplay, but I do have a particularly hard time with my depression thinking it can tell me how bad this is and how terrible that is when it comes to my roleplay. It’s being a lying hoe.

Cry. Just cry. Not only is it normal, but it releases chemicals in your brain that will make you feel better and can also stimulate creativity. Regardless, don’t just sit there and be sad, let yourself cry.

Have an attitude about it. Your depression is standing over you thinking it can tell you when you can and can’t roleplay. Show it who’s boss, don’t let it win, you gonna let that jerk just beat you up? Look at you pump out those replies, look at that freshly empty inbox, depression who? Depression can catch these fists.

Over my past years roleplaying I’ve put together a list of small things I occasionally need to remind myself of for whenever The Anxiety™ comes to town. Hope it can help y’all out as well!

This is not an expectation: Nobody expects anything from you, and you don’t owe anyone 1 thing. You are here for YOU and nobody else, anyone who says otherwise needs to be cut from your life bcos u don’t need that. snip snip.

Who said you had to be the best?: I find myself often trying to just be the BEST because I think it will stop me from being anxious, but it really just makes it worse. Focusing on only being the “best” takes the focus away from the fun of it.

You can’t please everyone: This goes for more than just roleplaying, but there is such a component in anxiety that makes this extremely difficult to accept. Take a deep breath and just say it until you hear it. It’s okay, people will get mad at you, you will have bad interactions; such is life.

Icons/Promos/Art/Themes do not equal quality: I used to think I would never be quality until I had all those things, but really, it’s in the writing and interaction. I can list endless blogs that have beautiful graphics and resource, but the writing? I’ll pass.

Find your community: Probably one of the most important things I’ve learned. Surround yourself with bad people and you will have a bad time. Find the right people? Buddy I promise you’ll be having a ball.

Other people’s perception of you does not define you: Another really important thing I’ve learned. Every single person you meet will see you differently than the last, and it will always never be how you actually are. These people only see a screen and words, how can you expect them to see everything you are?

"I didn't invite you over"

"Well too bad I'm here"

"I'm already at your house with food and drink"

"You're lactose intolerant spit it out stupid"

"I love you so that’s why I flushed all your cigarettes"

"There's food in the- oh you found it"

"I can't believe that guy just misgendered you I will fight him with my FISTS"

"Hey just run your car through my neighbor's fence when you get here"

"We should just go get a puppy, we're adults"

"You can't stop me if you're WITH me"

"Dude put some pants on"

"This is really stupid and I don't know why we haven't already done it"

"I knew I lost this shirt at your house"

"What do you mean you don't live here"

"You hate that don't order it?"

"You're right I do hate this"

"Remember that time you came over and never left"

"Oh I forgot I left my entire closet in your car"

“You need to fucking EAT”

"Make room in your space bubble I'm coming in"

"I can't believe we're actually moving in together"

"Remember when we were in first grade?"

"Awww you were so cute as a kid, what happened"

"I love you but no hetero"

"You left your dog here"

"My mom loves you more than she loves me"

“The friends I hate are coming over”

“The most important person is here!”
