The Forbidden Question

Many people think depression is just long term sadness.
"It's just a phase that will be over soon"
They don't know how actions affect people
Anxiety and Depression are a deadly combination.
A deadly concoction of fear that feeds into sadness
Diminishing all hope.
The Anxiety claws at your throat, The Depression brings tears.
So please, for gods sake don't ask someone who is clearly depressed to just "Be happy"
