I have depression. Stop asking me how I'm doing. Stop telling me I have nothing to be depressed about. Stop asking me if I'm sick just because I don't feel like getting dolled up today. Stop asking me why I'm quiet.
I have depression.

Sounds like a shirt I need. I posted some pictures on my Facebook page today of me and my nephews and someone sent me a message and asked if I was okay because I looked terrible in my pictures. I tried to explain that I wasn't feeling well but mostly it had been a rough day emotionally and my anxiety had been bad. I got a typical "You have so much to be thankful for, you shouldn't feel anxious." response and it really annoyed me. I'll admit I normally don't post pictures of myself and if I do, I have make up on and my hair is done. I'll admit it was a rough day for me physically and emotionally. But I was just hanging out at home with my family no make up and hair clean and brushed but not really done and I wanted some pictures of me and my nephews. I know I didn't look my best today but I wasn't asking for a critique on how I looked.
