Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I realized I had clinical depression for a while when I didn't feel sad but everything felt so meh. I'm doing fine now, though.

I have no idea. It was probably a combination of a change in mindset and different lifestyle choices. I started exercising more often, eating healthier (lost 10 kg), pushing depressing thoughts out, weeding out toxic people, and rekindling my interest in some of my hobbies by forcing me to do them. I know this is probably not helpful and it's what's generally recommended but it worked for me this time. It took a few months to get out of the slump. Or maybe whatever was bothering me worked itself out or I got over it. But who knows!

One of the terrible things about depression…that it makes it harder for you to do the very things that help reduce its effects like cook well, socialise, and exercise.

Im glad to hear that man, battling depression is no joke, specially on your own.

I know that my depression goes into remission sometimes, so I never know if I pulled myself out of it or if it just... Stopped

Do you have any outside help when pulling it off? Maybe SO, or family?

[–] Lemminary 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I have good support from my family. They don't get too involved, but I can count on them to listen. That's definitely a factor I hadn't considered.
