especially when i say i won't be able to do something like studying because i'm depressed and not functional enough to do that. people say i'm being overly pessimistic but it's literally just that i'm sick and i know how it affects my abilities??
like a few years ago my psych nurses and some other professional ppl told me i gotta just go study and it will be fine, yes i'm depressed but i'll be able to manage it right, it's fine, you gotta do it. so did. moved to a different city and started uni and within a month i was on sick leave again. because i still had severe depression and everyone thought i was being too pessimistic/unrealistic for thinking i wouldn't be able to study because i have severe depressiona dn am not functional.
