Depression stigma

Greetings,

I suffer from severe chronic depression (major depression) for more than 7 years now.

People who aee unaware of our mental condition stigmatise us by calling us "lazy", "procrastinated", "hoarders" (for not decluttering the room/house and piling up trash) etc.

Have you been stigmatised and how? Did that deepen your state of depression or made you angry? How did it make you feel?

Thank you all🤗 (you are not alone...)

@Butterflee P.S.: many of us were called "rude" or "anti-social" for not saying hello to people or engaging in trivial chit-chat. How were you "labeled" and how it made you feel?
