A sad place for sad people to be sad.

Have fun!

Bi-polar people are also allowed to post here but only sometimes.(joke)

This community is aimed at being inclusive for all people with depression and as such should be free of racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, sexism, patriarch and all other forms of hate-speech.

Trolls will be banned!

Same but that’s pretty much the definition of depression.

If you’re doing things to pass the time though, I’d recommend physical activities. Cleaning, walking, gardening, whatever gets your body moving.

Tried aggressively cleaning, lasted around a week
I go for walks multiple times a day around my suburb
Go running sometimes too
Haven't picked up my bike in a while
I detest gardening

It's all pointless

All you gotta do is keep doing the next right thing. Maybe look into upping your meds? I know it’s hard. I suffer from bouts of depression that feel the same way. I refuse to give up because I know there are so many people who love me including myself (took ages to figure that one out). There are folks who love you and want you to succeed. Start doing some work towards making yourself one of those people as well.

Quick question. Do you drink much water?
