What does chronic depression or functional depression feels like? Does anyone have it here? Did you get diagnosed and how? How is it?

This may sound retarded and insane but I'm dealing with religious people.
Could I be charged with rental fraud if I make a fake posting for my bf to move into, but no one actually pays me or signs any fake documents and he is aware it's happening?
This is all to trick his hyper conservative parents so that he can live in our apartment again when he is sent back for uni. If they give him money for it we would send it back, or perhaps claim he found out it was a fraud when he gets here and he HAS to stay with me then just never leaves.

Well see I'm fine now, I was depressed before and so my house looked like a hoarder house but it was just my regular stuff out on the floor and rubbish from buying food so I wouldn't have to cook just left out because I cbf'd to put it in the bin but if people came over I shoved it all in a cupboard so they wouldn't see. I still get messy now, like my house looks like that right now but that's just because I'm tired. I'm fine, just a bit tired. I also stop doing the dishes but right now I also have a huge pile of dishes so that's normal. I'm just tired. I've been so tired in fact I haven't done by hobbies for a while. I wouldn't be so tired if my friends weren't constantly taking up my time, I'd just like them to leave me alone to sort my shit out and catch up on sleep but then when I do get a break I just doomscroll the whole time and don't sleep. But that is off topic, that's not depression, I'm just tired and have boring friends and need time alone, and a housekeeper. Also i need some time off work because I keep being late and have to stay late to get stuff done because I'm so slow and so then i dont sleep. If I don't get a break soon I'll become depressed but I'm not now, I'm fine.

That's what it feels like, denial and lack of insight every time an episode hits even though the pattern is the same: lack of interest in everything, social withdrawal, brain fog, insomnia, lack of self care. Every fucking time if there's no dramatic crash out I'm convinced I'm just being lazy or tired, then I suddenly get some energy back and feel emotions again and realise how bad I got.

Was diagnosed by the university psychiatrist with major depressive disorder when seeing her after the CBT didn't help, and I only did that to get special consideration because I was failing out. I thought I was scamming the system. I took SSRIs and SNRIs for a while and they helped, but then I got cocky/broke and stopped. Eventually my moods evened out but now every year I have a few months, different months every time, where I become a lazy zombie for a bit. It's been 10 years since I was diagnosed.

it's likely a brit moid who groomed or raped somebody, and people calling for investigations and charges of pedos, online groomers, rapists, etc in the UK scares them so redirecting the whole conversation about immigration is a distraction

I relate so bad nonna and university has been hard as of now for this. Everything feels so tiring and despite the fact that you know, I do shower, I do keep my social relationships and I do (used to kek) study, I constantly feel like I have chains weighing me down.
I’m really in a bad Ruth right now. I think I’ll reach out and try therapy first and if it doesn’t work I’ll go to a psychiatrist.

I get a dull pain in the red highlighted part sometimes, if my body is laying a certain way or if I breathe in a certain/fast way. I can definitely feel its the bones. Any idea what this could be? It doesnt hurt when I directly touch it

This happened to me often after I was in a car accident and the doctor told me it was from muscle tension I guess? Like my shoulder/neck muscles were so messed up that they were causing chest pain. So it could be something like that?

Costochondritis. Your sternum can get inflammed if you sit down a lot with poor posture. Have any pains in your shoulders, neck, or upper trapezius muscles/upper back? Yoga fixed me up.

How do some women have practically no weight gain or changes in weight distribution postpartum? I live in an area where many foreigners come to give birth for citizenship. They're easy to spot, and every time I see one, it's almost always a very fit and slim woman pushing her baby in a stroller. Do they diet during pregnancy? How does that not ruin their health or the health of their babies?

No. 2613313

>>2613307
You kind of answered your own question there. If the women you’re observing are all the same race, it’s likely genetics for the most part with some social factors.

It's gotta be mostly genetics if they didn't change at all. My sister was super fit with a 6 pack before pregnancy, only gained 10kg during and kept lifting up until she gave birth, and pregnancy still made her stomach wider. It's not body fat or weight gain, it just kinda stretched out a bit. Or maybe it has to do with the size and positioning of the baby idk.

No. 2613336

>>2613333
Stetched out as in loose skin? Or literally the size if her stomach?

No. 2613360

>>2613336
No loose skin at all or even stretch marks that I've noticed, it just looks like she's a bit broader around the stomach. But her kid is only a year old and she hasn't got back to the gym much yet so it might be temporary.

Nonas am I paranoid? There were two separate instances where I was on a run, and two men, as they walked past me, also took on a jogging stance, except they looked stiff, I thought perhaps they were imitating and making fun of me. Neither of them were on workout clothes, one was on a suit, the other one was a fatass in casual clothes walking alongside a woman also in casual clothes (she was walking normally).
I could chalk it up to maybe- businessman was on a hurry, and the fat guy wanted to lose some weight…

Your post makes me sad. At first I thought you were going to vent about men following you, which is scary, but when you said they were imitating or making fun of you, I lost you. If these feelings and thoughts happen to you frequently, I'm legit sorry for what it's like to live in your head. Literally nobody is paying that much attention to you or making the effort to change their routine to make fun of you. 99% of people have their heads so far up their own asses that they're not paying attention to anyone or anything else, and I hope someday you learn this

I am aware. I know this sort of thinking is irrational, I know no one cares, but I guess I can't help these type of thoughts affecting me, most of the time they're intrusive. and I guess I still wonder, what if… it's dumb I know. I'm too old for this crap.

If I got snake bites, how long would it take for them to heal enough to switch to curved jewellery like hoops or horseshoe? They’re the only jewellery I want the piercing for.

>it's almost always a very fit and slim woman
I knew a 40 yer old woman who gave birth for the first time and she barely looked pregnant and then bounced right back after giving birth. Her baby was normal sized and healthy. She loved working out and was very fit, so now I very strongly think having muscles and good health is the key.
