What is depression like
Hey people with clinical depression, what is it like?
I feel like that sounded super insensitive but I’m writing something and I want the main character to have depression but would like to write it accurately without glorifying it or playing down any sort of struggle one has with depression.
In this story of sorts (ok it’s a fan fic) the character is in a country where mental illness is pretty taboo and most people still think depression is a phase to get over so I would like your stories (if you’re comfortable sharing them) of your life with depression. I’ll take anything. The ups and the downs. What therapy is like, how others react to you when you mention you have clinical depression (oh yeah and I mean like actual depression not the kind that your sad that your favorite tv show is over) yeah I just want to do this haracter justice and the whole community justice.
Please help
Thanks so much
