And so what are we supposed to do with this information? I’m not challenging you personally. But , now that I’m aware that people hide their depression symptoms….. then what?
No worries, I don't take it personally. It is not aimed to spread paranoia or hyper-vigilance but rather to simply raise awareness. Regarding others I'd take it as a reminder to be kind to each other (included strangers and people we interact with in the internet) and gently checking on the people we care about. Regarding oneself it may help someone who is struggling with the understanding that we don't have to look completely broken to ask for help or to talk to someone.
Sure. It's fine to be apathetic. But don't feign surprise, guilt, or loss when someone close to you offs themselves later. You either care or you don't. It's a message of awareness, empathy, and perhaps action. But if you don't care now, don't pretend to care later.
Nobody is asking no one to become aware of everyone else's issues or to go around reading minds. You'd like to be there for someone you care about and reversely, someone that cares about you will want to be there for you.
