Something to keep in mind: Having depression and expressing your emotions is important, it can often feel like you’re alone without anyone to relate to, but using negative emotions as a way to socialize with others can become toxic very quickly (I’ve been friends w/ other depressed people and if you start doing better they often act as it’s a betrayal). Be careful if you find yourself in one of these loops, pattern recognition is the first step to breaking the cycle!
