  1. i used to have depression so i don’t know if that counts also there are different types like smiling depression but for the most part—— they seem negative and self pitiful, lazy in the sense that they are allowing it to happen or not trying to get help (i see so many people who just let themselves fall into that hole n since i’ve gotten out of it i know it’s just about trying to avoid it and slowly crawling out)

    quiet, unconfident, etc

    but like i said there are many different types n people show it differently some people seem totallllly fine but aren’t

  2. I’ve had my history with depression and it runs in my family. But I’ve seen a friend go through it, and retrospectively, the main difference was the lack of effort.

    Simple tasks were just out of reach. He would come to work, but could never get much done. He’s had a strain in his relationship which seemed like an easy thing to resolve, but never seemed to find a way to do it. I’d make a quip at him and he didn’t seem to have the energy to respond.

    He’d often work from home (before pandemic) because he couldn’t get himself to come to work.

    He didn’t carry a sad face, and he could respond in a conversation – although not with much enthusiasm. He seemed fine, until you contrasted his behavior back to his more typical state.

    And that’s what I keep an eye out for now…
