Please be kind.

Take a look at me, do you think I'm the type of person that ever gets depressed? No?

I have clinical depression, I have everything I could ever want or need in life; I have a loving family, supportive friends, my first house with my partner and I'm headed to university to study nursing.

Yet, every now and then I get severely depressed to the point that I simply do not care for myself in the most basic of ways- when I'm depressed I don't eat, I need to be reminded to wash and most days I don't even move from bed.

I've only recently started to begin to find ways to cope with my down days, but everyday remains a battle that literally no one else can see.

I guess my point is, please be kind to others... You never know what people are dealing with behind closed doors.
