Looking for Goodreads friends as I've been getting back into reading!
I like to read mostly fantasy, romantasy, crime, and thrillers and try to review what I've read

People have exactly a two-week limit on their sympathy. When you first break down, everyone is supportive. But if your depression lasts longer than a fortnight, they get incredibly annoyed.
βYou are not allowed to have long-term struggles. Society expects you to have a quick, cinematic breakdown, cry it out over the weekend, and bounce back to being productive by Monday.
βThe exact second they realize your depression isn't just a temporary mood swing but a constant struggle, the "take all the time you need" energy completely vanishes.
βThey stop checking in and start treating your mental state like a deliberate character flaw. You aren't struggling anymore; you are just "not trying hard enough" or "choosing to be miserable."

Ngl people don't believe you when you say you're drowning. as long as you're still showing up. as long as you're breathing, answering texts, doing the bare minimum, they assume you're okay.
when you say you're tired, they hear lazy.
when you say you're scared for no reason, they say you're overthinking.
when your chest tightens and your mind won't shut up, they call it stress, nerves, something you should be able to control by now. panic attacks get brushed off.
depression gets softened into moods, something easier to ignore.
not until something finally breaks, not until it's loud and ugly and undeniable and only then do people say they had no idea, like you weren't asking to be seen the entire time.

Friday the 13th doesnβt seem so ominous anymore now that every day carries a threatening aura.

i realised its not laziness or procrastination, when you reach a certain state of depression you get so detached from reality and you don't wish to participate in anything in life, you just want to sleep and wake up and actually not speak to anyone.
