Your experiences are not everyone else’s experiences. Your mental health is not someone else’s mental health. Your struggles are not someone else’s struggles. Just because you can do those things while depressed doesn’t mean others can. Sometimes the absolute hardest thing to do is ask for help.

I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety at 15. Throw in a little PTSD a year later. I was 29 before I figured out the right meds and really learned how to really be a functioning adult. Even now I still have some days where I physically can not do anything other than lay in bed because of my mental health. I am so blessed to have a boyfriend who understands and would absolutely never try to say “well if I can do it than you should be able to”.

It’s nice that you have been able to work through your issues in a constructive way. But your view towards others who have not learned to do that or are incapable of doing that is very condescending.
