Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
sounds kinda ridiculous but i feel when i go out, i shouldn't try to look my best, or act happy, because i feel that it could only lead to a false pretense of who i mainly am, which is a depressed person.
but is that just a terrible attitude? i sometimes can be happy. arent there people out there that may accept me as only happy a bit of the time?
it really preempts my social life.
i feel like i'm setting up anyone that would date me for disappointment, struggle, basically they would be beter off without me. and i wish people well, so i dont want them to enter a bad situation.
part of me thinks i have the world to give in many exceptional ways, but the other part thinks i'm terrible to be around for disorder reasons like depression and some ADHD.
What do you think about this?

everyone who enters into a relationship must be mature enough to understand you have to take the sour with the sweet, the ups with the downs.
I think this is what you are asking.
it really causes less heartbreak in the long run
I couldn't give a 'rats' about my appearance for months... But then, bit by bit, I wanted to smell nice, look nice etc - for me.
And 'it' (in turn) gave me a 'buzz' when others said Eg: "Oh, you smell so nice, what perfume are you wearing". Or "Oh I like your hair". Or "You always dress so nicely"...
But, at the end of the day - I did it for me...

Depression and ADHD don't make up the entirety of who you are- they are illnesses you have. You are much more than two illnesses.
You don't have to hide the fact you have depression but you don't have to put your depression out there like a sign either.... there's a whole world of women between a nun and a whore (not that I care or judge if a person is a nun or a whore). Ya dig?
hum, i guess it would be best to lighten up and just try looking nice a bit, just try it and see what happens.
jesus this world SUCKS!
Sheesh
but alot of times that's not how it works
sometimes opposites are together...one person is happy all the time and the other personis depressed all the time..the depressed person gets tired of the happy person being happy all the damn time and vice versa haha
