@GaryGaryphall and I got #Married yesterday! Our first dance was "Love like you" from Steven Universe by @rebeccasugar
We had an amazing day, I just want to do it all over again!
@itsDanBull Im sorry Dan. I was 25 amd my younger sister was only 5 when our dad passed. My dad was my biggest comfort and knew how to right all the wrongs in the world, so when he died I just wanted to talk to him.
@lowcarbcomedy AI algorithms suck ass, my feed is full of kittens, which, great but sometimes there's too much cuteness and I want to be a grumpy old lady 😭
@DontFretGame A horror game with a sentient guitar trapped in a music school? You know the soundtrack is gonna slap and looks like there's gonna be both musical keys and actual keys 😂
@lowcarbcomedy@DeborahAnnWoll This is the first GOW that has piqued my interest. It's so cool knowing she's your friend! Hope she flips a mean burger like she flips the monsters
Be careful with people who have HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION.
Let's go through this together 👇👇
1. They get up, get dressed, go to work, and cry in silence when nobody’s watching.
2. They check on everybody else, but don’t feel safe asking for help themselves.
3. Their smile is practiced, their “I’m fine” is automatic, their breakdowns are private.
4. They appear to be okay, give solid advice, and hold everybody down, but when the world gets quiet, their thoughts get loud.
5. You think they’re okay because they’re productive, but they only stay busy to avoid feeling anything.
6. High functioning depression doesn’t look like laziness, it looks like overworking, overthinking, and never resting.
7. They keep it together in public, but fall apart in the shower, in traffic, or right before bed.
8. Just because they don’t say “I’m struggling” doesn’t mean they’re not drowning inside.
9. They apologize for being “too much” when they’ve really just been holding too much in.
10. They make everyone feel better, but go home feeling empty.
So when someone says “check on your strong friends,” Do it. Because the ones who always say “I got it” are usually the ones who don’t. They suffer in silence. They laugh through pain. And they master how to function when they’re barely holding on.

High functioning depression can look like..
• Showing up but shutting down inside.
• Smiling through exhaustion.
• Doing everything on autopilot.
• Cancelling plans last minute.
• Feeling numb instead of sad.
• Struggling to enjoy anything.
• Looking “fine” to everyone else.
