Okay so... I was writing a Leo (vixx) fanfic. I already have a few chapters written but because I wanted it long and didn’t want it not to be given up on I dit not post it yet. It was heavily implied it in that Leo was depressed. But... I feel weird continuing it now that Leo announced he really was suffering from depression. What do you guys think? Should I continue/publish it?

@akiraita18 To give you a little more insight, it would have never been mentioned. It's just hints in the story that both you (the reader) and Leo were feeling quite depressed aka sad and kinda lost in life. Because it's a love story, this fact would bring them together as a way to understand each other and help each other see the best things in life. So both would eventually feel happier (except some moments for fanfic drama purposes). But they would end up happy. It's just that now that he really is suffering from it and from panic, I don't know if writing that would be disrespectful to him? It's one thing to write him that way because he composes sad ballads & everything but I find it another thing to portray his real mental illness. I know he would never read it anyway but I do feel conscious of him no matter what. Do you get me? And thanks for your reply, I do appreciate it and I do understand your point of view. I don't want people to feel triggered by what I write! I just wanted this fanfiction to be relatable because a lot of people suffer from that, I have suffered from that. And it's nice to have a little bit of hope, because sometimes it does get better when you find someone that understands you and your pain. :/

Uhmm I’m not sure tho but if I can say my thoughts “This one is quite confusing and need more analysis because I’m sure you had worked hard for it but I think you shouldn’t continue because we all know how depression takes toll on one’s mental health and it’s adversities. Some people tend to get depressed just by looking at their loved ones  going through it. But can also post if you have a source to bring him out of depression and make him a happy person in the story”
