    It’s hard to feel depressed when you’re angry. Just cause you yell at people doesn’t mean you’re not also depressed.

      I’ll even nuance it further: depression mutes all feelings, anger is one of the first emotions to come back to you.

      That, and also it’s much easier to offload on internet strangers than actual people with reactions and feelings (as you can’t see them in a timely manner). Which applies even for non-depressed folks.

      Let’s compare your wikipedia degree with my half a century of direct personal experience, a minor in dev psych, diagnosed chronic depression AND EDS, and add on top of that an autist’s special interest obsession with biology.

      People like you post this kind of pithy meaningless bullshit all the time on the internet to seem wise, and it works on everyone except people who have directly experience what you are spewing shit about.

      Depression is like alcoholism, it never goes away, you just get better at managing it
