It doesn't matter much if a person is sad for no reason, no one wants to be around someone who is sad.

- a3n 11y agoThis didn't deserve a downvote, it's a good observation of the problem. If you're depressed, it's very hard for people to be around you, and that makes the depression worse.
- javajosh 11y agoYep. In fact, I think that (apart from clinical practitioners who might find it fascinating) the people best positioned to help the depressed are those who've experienced it themselves, and overcome it.
- sullyj3 11y agoI'm depressed. It comes and goes, but generally in the middle of an episode I don't want to be around other people either, which I think compounds the issue.
