hey I'm new to this whole thing, and I'm sorry to intrude.. I just wanted to offer a bit of positive reinforcement. the depression cloud is dark and dank, and it is a strangely comforting place to keep refuge in.

I know comforting is probably not the right word, but do you know what i mean?

not a good feeling by any means, but when my loved ones see me depressed and say 'hey, why don't you play a game or listen to some music that will distract you?'

even when i know they are right i ignore them, just to soak in the sense of helplessness. I am not saying y'all do this at all but if you force yourself to immerse yourselves in something you love, it really helps. even just a little bit..

I'm sorry if this is cliche and annoying... i suffer immensely and i just want to offer a hand of help.

forgive me if i am out of place. I am very new to this forum..
