I feel like women with depression are still expected to be polite and pretend to be happy in order to keep others happy, while men with depression get to be openly miserable and even rude and their depression can be an excuse for whatever bad behaviour they engage in.

Yessssssssss Also men’s depression is seen as like artistic and deep. Like its ok that theyre rude cause theyre going to write the next great American novel or some bull shit. While women with depression really aren’t taken seriously or were asked if we are pmsing or our suicides get made fun of for decades (sylvia plath)
