Okay, a question. I have gotten on reddit to learn about mental disorders and illnesses for my fanfics, because I do not want to give out false information. I wrote how I was a young writer who wanted to know about mental disorders and I heard somewhere that asking real people could give you insight and information (I know they're not professionals, I just wanted to know how they feel)and also wrote about my fanfic 'dead inside' (Just what it was about so people could get better insight, I did not give out the name or anything) and even added that people could say if I was being insensitive and that I did not want to hurt anyone.
After I posted that someone wrote ' I'm not depressed but way to put idea's in people's head'. I do not know if this comment was meant nice or badly, but to me it feels bad... Can someone tell me if I was being insensitive? All I wanted to know was how people suffer from depression, not to give them one. And I don't think explaining my fic would give people depression or something.
And yes, I am searching on sites, on Google Scholar, I have different subjects I'm trying to learn about.

Awwww, thank you for answering. I'm very happy you did. And thanks for the information. I'm an empath and a people pleaser too, so I don't really want to make someone angry or sad. And I will update A mother, I promise. It's just right now, I'm going through a writer's block that's so annoying, but hopefully it will go away soon.
Thank you for answering again and than you for enjoying my fanfic!

Of course, this is just my experience. Not every depressed person goes through the exact same thing. And what I wrote isn’t even half of what depression actually is. On the surface it might look like someone who has simply lost interest in everything and become emotionally numb, gradually losing themselves. But there’s much more to it. It’s really messy. I tried my best to put it into words, but there’s still a lot more to it.
And lastly, I started reading your Lookism fic “A Mother”, and I loved it so much after just one chapter ಥ‿ಥ please keep writing, you’re doing amazing work ( ꈍᴗꈍ) and sorry for all the yapping (I yapped so much that even the message exceed maximum characters, I had to cut them in different sections ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ)
