    I wish. No one IRL treats me like this. Everyone’s eyes glaze over or they freak out. There is no support.

      I also have clinical depression and I really get the lack of support. Nevertheless, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. I think what he’s emphasizing is the “no one” part. There are some, fewer than id like, people that want to see the world a better place and we gotta support each other

      That’s the heartbreaking part - so many would genuinely rather hear about your death than have to suffer your “whining” (most would not admit that though). I suppose it takes all kinds of people in this world…

        Yeah my wife kinda said she was tired of hearing me be depressed. And now she wonders why I’m a bit closed off today, or numb.

      Came to say the same thing. It’s awesome to be optimistic and wholesome, but very few people care that in depth. It’s also really hard to shoulder someone at that level.

      Especially with males.
