Hello. So I'd like to talk, well, first, good evening, swell. Family, friends, followers. I wanted to talk about something that I don't really talk about a lot, but I want to talk about depression. I'm going to put some pictures, some screenshots that I grabbed down. I'm going to put them on here so that you can, so that everybody can see them. So depression is more than just being sad, right?

We just never know what's going on in their body. The same thing with the pain. The pain makes me feel depressed because I want to do stuff and I can't because I'm hurting. And if I'm not hurting, I don't want to do too much so that I will be hurting. So that makes me depressed

And so I wanted to say, like, I'm not looking for pity. Like, this isn't a pity me post. It's not. I'm more so just wanted to have a conversation about this because I don't think it's talked about enough. And a lot of people do suffer from depression, even if they don't want to say that they do

But what I like most about this, well, is that you're talking about it. My daughter also suffers with the boils and stuff under her arms. It runs in our family. So knowing that somebody else has it gives me hope, because I didn't know what to do about it. I just thought it was a family secret. But thank you for this, because like I said, depression is not a jokester. It is a serious, serious person

I'm here because I do understand, and not a lot of people don't understand sometimes, especially when you're depressed and you don't want to get up and do nothing, you don't want to go anywhere, none of that kind of stuff. People think you're just being lazy or whatever, all the derogatory stuff they say, but they don't realize that you really do want to do it
