I had a very sad realisation today regarding how to explain #depression to people that have not experienced it.
They always - without fail - have “easy solutions” about how you “only” need to do this or that. Personal hygiene, activity, sleep, food, and so on. Never understanding those things pose an investment and a challenge (See: Spoon Theory).
But every single time - without fail - when I mention the fact that many #depressive people no longer desire or enjoy #sex I am met with disbelieve, because “obviously EVERYbody loves sex”. Well, no, because depression is a #cruel bitch.
