Things I never knew about depression until I finally had a doctor explain the disease to me

Depression can manifest as irrational anger.

My complete and total inability to keep anything clean or tidy for any amount of time is a symptom of my depression. I may never be able to do this. It’s important that I remember that and forgive myself when I clean something out (like my car) and it ends up trashed within a week.

Depression IS A DISABILITY. Requiring accommodations is okay.

Medications don’t make you better, they don’t cure your depression. They serve as an aid. Their purpose is to help you get to everyone else’s minimal level of functioning.

Depression can cycle through periods of inactivity. This doesn’t mean it’s gone away.

The reason I don’t feel like other people understand me is because … well … other people DON’T understand me. They can’t. They don’t have my disability.

Paranoia is par for the course.

Depression can and will interfere with your physical mobility. Forgive yourself when you can’t physically do something.

It’s entirely possible that I may never be able to live by myself. I can’t take care of myself. I need help to do it. And that’s okay.

As someone who suffers from depression and who experiences all these things as well I think this is important and needs to be reblogged.
Depression is a very difficult thing, not only for people who suffer from it, but for everyone who knows a depressed person. My family doesn’t know how to deal with it, my friends try their very best to support me and I have tried to pretend I was fine until I was in ninth grade.

I didn’t know any of this either until I was actually diagnosed & my doctor broke it down for me.

This.all.is.the.truth.

i dont think ive spent more than 3 hours awake at a time for the past 3 days. I feel useless and pathetic but it helps to know that it’s part of my depression and not a personal failing.

I’m learning Spanish, so I was searching Netflix to find stuff I can watch that has a Spanish language track and Spanish subtitles (I read better than I speak).

A lot of the Disney stuff has that, but you know what else does?

Sharknado. All the Sharknado films.

Well, I wanted something I’m already familiar with, Sharknado can’t be worse in Spanish than it is in English.

Okay whoever subbed these voices is ridic.

And I now know the Spanish word for shark… tiburón

Okay Finn said something I didn’t recognize, the subtitle said maldición… so i looked it up. maldición means curse… lol.

Now i kinda want to really know what Finn said.

Now it subtitled it for George, and I happen to know that the line there was “Shit” but the subtitles still said maldición…

I think he said “cagada”

No soy stripper… i know that what that means. lol

replied to your post “I’m learning Spanish, so I was searching Netflix to find stuff I can…”

I’m learning spanish, too! So if you find something decent to watch with spanish subtitles, tell me 😀

If you’re learning, besides disney movies, I’d recommend Extra en Español. It’s on youtube and made for learners, so they talk slow and it’s easy to follow. It is Spanish Spanish, not Latin American Spanish, but most of it’s the same. Also it’s basic sitcom plot #3 boy likes girl, girl doesn’t like boy, but roommate likes boy. And then they throw a visiting American boy in the mix that doesn’t speak good Spanish…

Or you can try watching this and just giggle.
