hey. so, I'm a Whovian, and I watch one episode or more of Doctor who each week. So, tonight I watched "Vincent and The Doctor" It was about Vincent van Gogh and his depression. that hit me hard. I mean, I had seen it before but now, rewatching it, that, that was painful. to see such a great person thinking his art and genius was bad. I mean, it happened in his actual life, but still. The episode was about depression and (to repeat myself) even though, I don't have depression (mood or disorder) It hit me hard.   

I doubt this is what you expected coming into this, but I just want to say this: stop saying "you must be depressed" as a joke. it's not funny. Also, don't tell a depressed person "be happy, cheerful, do things you like." etc. it makes zero difference and I'm guessing, would only make the depressed person worse. so stop.
