Could you do the fluff alphabet for Armin? My favorite :) Loved eren's by the way

Aw I'm glad you liked it! Absolutely <3

I had a lot of fun with this, but it’s very much unedited, so... yeah, hopefully it’s alright!

POST Time Skip as always

Fluff Alphabet: Armin

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

He plans absolutely adorable little dates, like picnics or hikes. He also loves taking his SO to museums and art galleries, especially if it’s something they’re really interested in. He already has plenty of knowledge on the subject, and he definitely did some research before they left, so he’s fully prepared to point out every little detail and explain the meaning behind everything as they go. Most of all, though, he just likes getting to be with his SO, so he also loves lazy afternoons sitting and reading together.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Armin thinks absolutely everything about his SO is stunning. He loves the way they carry themselves when they’re confident, the way their face crinkles when they laugh, the sparkle in their eyes when they talk about their interests: they’re just perfect.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Look no further, everybody, because we’ve found the most comforting man on the earth. His first instinct when his SO is upset is to make sure their surroundings are comfortable, meaning he’ll make sure to take them somewhere quiet if they are in public, or he’ll find lots of blankets and pillows. Then he’ll sit with them, letting them rest their head on his chest while he traces little circles into their hair. If they want to talk about it, he’s down. If they need space, he’s already out the door, checking on them once in a while with some water. But if they just want him there, he won’t leave their side.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

He’s really happy thinking about the future, even though it’s not necessarily specific. He loves the idea of building some sort of life with his SO and getting to spend it together. There’s no specific idea in his head of what that looks like, so he’d be happy no matter what as long as they’re together.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

It’s entirely equal. He’s an absolute gentleman, but he doesn’t believe in the way society enforces roles on a relationship. Him and his SO are a team, and they work together in their relationship.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He really hates fighting, and he doesn’t really initiate a fight ever. And, unless it’s something really serious, he would be quick to find a compromise and make up. But, even if it is serious, even though he might be a bit hurt, he still wouldn’t want to fight. They’re a team, and that team is built on a foundation of solid communication, so he’d want to have a genuine conversation rather than just yell at each other. The last thing he wants is for either of them to get their feelings hurt accidentally.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

He is so incredibly grateful for his SO, and he makes sure they know it. He appreciates them and everything they do, so even if it makes him uncomfortable, he expresses it as often as he can.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

There are no secrets in his relationship. You can’t be a team if you’re not on the same page, and he doesn’t see any reason why he would want to hide things anyway. He would respect if there are things his SO just doesn’t want to talk about, especially if it’s something very personal, but his goal will be to make sure they know they can feel comfortable talking to him.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Armin is a pretty reserved person, and he has a lot of self doubt and general anxiety. But, he feels so much more confident and relaxed around his SO; they’ve helped him to become more comfortable with himself and his interactions in general. He can also forget his own worries instantly when it comes to protecting them, which shows him that he is capable of overcoming that fear. He embraces the sense of security they give him, and he allows himself to open up a bit more.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He doesn’t get jealous often, but he does have some self doubt that gets in the way. It’s not that he would blame his SO or accuse them of anything, he just gets a bit insecure. It’s also not hard for his SO to notice, and all he really needs is a few words of assurance and comfort to relax.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Alright, unfortunately, their first kiss was so awkward. Armin was absolutely terrified of messing up, and he probably rambled when he asked if he could kiss them. It was honestly pretty cute, though, the way that he blushed, then got all smiley afterwards. He’s able to relax with it over time, and after a while, he’s a really good kisser. He probably gives his SO a little kiss as a greeting each time he sees them, and he’s absolutely a tiny butterfly kisses kind of guy :)

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Okay, so if we’re talking about how he asked them out, he was SO awkward. His friends had to hype him up for like two weeks, and he definitely rambles when he’s uncomfortable, so it took him forever to actually get the words out. He absolutely did it in person, though, and it was pretty sweet. But, if we’re talking about the first time he said that he loved them, it was more relaxed. He just looked over at his SO one day and though about how amazing they are and how lucky he is, so he told them, and it came out as “I love you”. He was pretty embarrassed afterwards, but he definitely didn’t regret it, especially after they said it back.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

I think it depends pretty heavily on his partner, and he’d be happy either way. He doesn’t rely on a piece of paper to show that they care about each other, so if they don’t want to, he’d be happy. But, if they do want to get married, he would be so excited. He would definitely plan the most thoughtful proposal, in a private place that holds some kind of meaning for the two of them, and it would be so cute. Their wedding would be stunning, he definitely has an eye for design. There wouldn’t be a big difference between dating and married life, just more excuse to be happy together.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

He has so many cute little nicknames for them. Definitely calls them “love”, or “sweetheart” when they’re upset. But mainly, his nicknames are super creative and meaningful to the two of them. If his SO speaks a second language, he did some research and came up with a nickname in that language. They probably also reference their inside jokes, so it makes no sense to anyone else, which just makes it that much more special.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

It’s sooo obvious when Armin is in love. He gets embarrassed every time someone brings up his SO, and he keeps getting caught smiling and staring off into space. He expresses his feelings to his SO in every way can, whether that’s through little acts of service, homemade gifts, extra soft kisses, or just flat out saying that he loves them. He never wants them to feel like he doesn’t appreciate them completely and utterly, so he goes out of his way to make sure they know how he feels.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He’s really uncomfortable with PDA, at most, he would probably hold his SO’s hand or rest his hand on their back. Otherwise, he just gets super embarrassed and flustered. He doesn’t mind talking about their relationship, though, especially with people he trusts. He’s not going to brag or share specific details, but he enjoys getting to talk about the person he loves, and he’s honestly happy that people know they’re together.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.

This is very random, but he has an endless supply of cozy sweaters and sweatshirts, lots of which are oversized, and he LOVES when his SO steals them. Every time he catches them wearing his clothes, it makes him sooo happy. They’re the coziest couple on the planet.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He’s incredibly romantic, but not in the traditional way. He just doesn’t understand the cliche romantic gestures and sayings, and he would so much rather come up with his own way of expressing his appreciation for his SO and making them happy. It’s much more personal, and he puts so much thought into all of it.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Armin is completely and utterly supportive; he is his SO’s number one supporter. In his eyes, there is literally nothing they cannot accomplish, and he will do whatever he can to help them get there. If they’re hesitant to pursue something they’re passionate about, he is going to encourage them to have faith in themselves and chase after it, no matter what, because he believes in them completely. And if there’s any way he can help them reach their goals, he’s all ears.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Probably a mix of both. They probably have a routine of some kind set, and he appreciates the peace and stability of that. But, he also loves getting to add to his list of new experiences that the two of them have shared. He loves learning and seeing new things, and especially when he gets to share them with his SO, it makes him really happy.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He knows them incredibly well. He can predict their reactions in different situations, and he can almost always tell how they’re feeling. It’s entirely due to how clearly they communicate, and the way that he observes everything around him. He took note at the start of their relationship of what makes them happy and what upsets them, and he knows so much about them. He can empathize so well because of this.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

His relationship is very important to him. His SO means a lot to him, and he’s definitely started to build his routine around them, especially if they’ve been together for a while. He doesn’t really enter relationships without being serious about it, that’s just not his style, so it really is meaningful to him.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

When he doesn’t get to see his SO for a while, they carve out time in their next meeting to just talk. They get nice and cozy together, and they just spent an hour or two talking about everything they can think of, how their week went, what crazy book they’re reading, some new fact about something they’re interested in, whatever they want to share with each other. Armin loves getting to talk about the things he’s learned and what’s happening in his life, but more than that, he absolutely adores hearing his SO talk about things they’re passionate about. He loves the way their eyes light up and their voice becomes animated. He could just sit there, in their arms, listening to them talk for hours.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

He’s very affectionate! Nowhere else does he feel as safe as he does in his SO’s arms, and he loves getting to be close to them. They definitely take naps together after a long day, and he loves to cuddle while they read. If they’re working or sitting together, he’ll rest his head on theirs, giving them tiny kisses on top of their head, or he’ll let them curl up into his side and run his hand gently up and down their back. He loves feeling like he can protect them.

Y earning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?

He really hates when his SO is gone for a long time just because their routines are so intertwined, so he’s constantly reminded of their absence. He probably spends more time with his friends and writes down things he wants to tell his SO when they return, which relaxes him.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Armin is the best example of going to great lengths in a relationship. Anything he can do to make his SO happy and keep everything going well, he is more than happy to do. He absolutely communicates with his partner to see what they need, and what they think the relationship needs, and they’ll work together to make sure they are satisfied. His relationship and his SO mean the world to him, so he would definitely do whatever he can for them.

Yet Another Ask Meme

Tagged by the always lovely @mjaydesw ! Thanks :D

A) What does the last text you sent say? And to whom? “🎺 that’s the closest I see to a whistle" To my boss. Uh, it makes sense in context

B) What does the last text you received say? And from whom? “Lunch trumpet.” From my boss.

C) What time do you wake up most mornings? Weekdays? Between 7:30-7:50, depending on how motivated I am to get out of bed. Somewhere around 9 or 10 on the weekends.

D) Are you afraid of walking alone at night? I like to think of it more as “rationally cautious”. And I rarely walk anywhere as things are pretty spread out in Texas so it takes forever and a day to get anywhere on foot.

E) What do you do to relax at the end of a stressful day? Pour a liberal glass of wine or beer, and unwind in front of the TV or the computer depending on my mood. Really stressful? Usually I grab a controller and go smack something inside of a virtual world to take out my aggression. It’s very therapeutic

F) Where did your last kiss take place and with whom? It was back in February at the apartment of a guy I had been seeing who I had affectionately dubbed “Star Wars Guy”. He was not a good kisser, and got himself rechristened to “Dog Shover” when one of my pooches got protective as he was getting handsy. I broke up with him via text. On Valentine’s Day. While I was stuck in an airport. …have I mentioned I’m such a catch?

G) Do/did you get into trouble a lot at school? Ahaha hahahaha ahahahhahaha ahahahahaha… no. I was a disgusting goodie two-shoes and frequently a teacher’s pet. Sorry not sorry.

H) Do you enjoy your job? If unemployed, are you content being so? Most days! Every job has it’s ups and downs, and this one has had a lot of downs in recent years but, hey, the benefits are good, and it’s a rarity for my field to have steady work so I’m thankful for that. And my newest boss is actually a good guy and not a micromanager, and that helps like 1000%

I) Do you often pick up on double entendres and innuendos? Define often? I would say it’s about half and half, because sometimes I’m not paying attention or thinking about something else, so there will be like a few beats of me being quiet before suddenly getting it.

J) Have you ever been offered drugs but declined? Yeah, last time was a few years back when my entire family (including my parents) thought it was a SMASHING idea to smoke some weed from one of my sister’s friends. I declined because meh, recreational highs, and also my job does random drug screenings, and that can get me terminated on the spot. Turns out it was a bad batch of weed, and they all started having epic freak outs, and my father nearly gave himself a concussion. Good times.

K) Have you ever met someone who has completely altered your way of thinking? I’ve not met any one person who’s done that, but I have read and listened to conversations that have completely opened my eyes to things I didn’t realize were happening in the world. That did wind up altering a lot of long-held beliefs, but in a good way I like to think I’m a more understanding empathetic person these days because of that.

L) Have you ever been offered drugs and accepted? Nope. See: disgusting goodie two-shoes

M) Tell us something weird that turns you on. I… don’t know? I don’t really experience attraction the way I understand a lot of other people do, so “turn on” is a bit of a misnomer in that sense. I usually need a pretty strong emotional connection/attraction to someone first, the other stuff comes later. I guess that can be what’s weird? IDK.

N) When did someone last admit romantic or sexual feelings for you? Was the feeling mutual? See, life would be AMAZINGLY SIMPLE if people used their words, instead of, say, springing random romantic picnics on me during what was supposed to be hangout sessions, or just moving in for a kiss without saying “Hey I like you”. I mean, yes, it becomes much more obvious after that, but give a girl some warning! (I should note, this could just be a “geeky guy thinks he’s suave” thing)

O) What is something you have given a lot of thought to lately? Plotting and various stories that are in-progress, how to get my kitchen clean, re-establishing my healthier habits I fell out of, video games, the number 42, the need to balance my checkbook, matters of love, you know, the usual

P) When did you last swallow your beliefs to avoid an argument or confrontation? Just about every time I’m around my family. We… don’t see eye to eye on a lot these days.

Q) Do you usually initiate hugs? Not usually, no. I’ve been accused by more touchy-feely people of being allergic to them – but mostly I just don’t want to make people uncomfortable. There’s a few people I hug more freely, but usually that’s a rapport we’ve already established.

R) Are you a very affectionate person? It’s something I try to be more aware of. I have a feeling I appear more distant at times because I’m used to keeping things in a lot.

S) Can you roll your own cigarettes? Nope. I do have a nicotine-free vape that I can sometimes not burn my throat with… I’m not very good at the whole smoking thing. Probably for the best.

T) What are you looking forward to? The weekend. More vacation time (whenever I figure out when to schedule it). Writing. More story stuff in SWTORs, hanging with friends.

U) Do you have any tattoos. Do you want any/more? Nah. I could never figure out what I wanted to be stuck with for the rest of my life.

V) Are you mentally strong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

W) Are you physically strong? Hahaha… no.

X) Do you think you’re a good person? I try to be a good person as much as possible, which is all anyone can really do. I probably succeed to varying degrees depending on the day.

Y) Name one thing you wish you could change about your life right now. Just ONE? I guess I wish I had more time, energy, and focus, as that is one thing that keeps me from being able to do everything else.

Z) What do you usually eat for breakfast? Lately it’s been a breakfast sandwich from the freezer. I’m hoping to get my lazy bum out of bed earlier so I can try and work some vegetable smoothies back into the mix.

Tagging: Tag yourself in!

Welcome to the Wardens, Bo! Your application for a RANGER OC has been accepted with a Sean Bean FC.

The application can be found under the cut. You have 48 hours to create a roleplay account (cannot be a sideblog) for your character and we will be updating our opening date soon!

C H A R A C T E R - I N F O

T H E - B A S I C S

Name: Brynjolf

Title: The Exile

Gender: Male

Age: 58

Class: Ranger

Faceclaim: Sean Bean

C H A R A C T E R - D E T A I L S

Nationality: Siftish

Appearance:

Looking at Brynjolf, one wouldn’t be impressed. He slouches, making himself shorter than his upright height of 6 foot. He doesn’t shave much. He shaved before he came to Eldris, but then he got on a boat and traveled across land and sea. He’s always sporting some scruff anyway. The shite razor he uses his dull by now. He carries a sword, and when he’s actually in battle…he’s a sight to behold. He straightens up and looks like a proper knight save for the possible moss growing on his back. His hair is longer than it should be, going past his chin and dusting along his shoulders. He’s riddled with scars, most of them on his chest and back (from a brief stint in a fighting ring) and a few on his face. The biggest ones are the two on his back (jagged blade scars) and the one on his eyebrow from an accident as a boy.

Personality:

+Compassionate: While Brynjolf has a hard outer shell, once it’s peeled back (especially with children), he can be quite kind and compassionate.

+Hardworking: Bryn has never been accused of being lazy (unless you’re his father). He’s not afraid of putting in his hours, and some have even accused him of being too diligent in his work.

+Stoic: He’s seen heartache, joy, and any emotion in between. But through all he stays still, calm and collected. Few things in his world have made him weep, and it takes a lot to get him to shed a tear.

-Callous: His exile makes for poor social skills. Insensitivity is putting it too lightly. Sometimes he simply speaks what enters his head which can result in poor first impressions.

-Untidy: Again, his exile puts him at a disadvantage. Not having to bathe or clean up after himself in his exile, he doesn’t really keep himself fully clean. His hair is usually greasy because of this, and often, he has to be reminded (usually by his own nose) that he needs to actually…you know…bathe.

-Grumpy: He’s an old man. He’s been alive long enough to know he’s tired of these young kids. Harrumph harrumph harrumph. Grumble grumble. Get off his lawn.

C H A R A C T E R - B A C K G R O U N D

History:

He never met his mother properly. When he came into this world, she was only able to hold him for a moment before her arms went limp and her eyes glazed over. His father from that moment forward blamed him for everything wrong that happened in his life. Earthspeaker Erendorn was never easy on his son as he grew up, and it didn’t change all the way to Brynjolf’s self-exile.

Brynjolf was born to be a Ranger. His father told him that was what he would be, and he truly never let Bryn have a childhood or a choice in his future. As soon as he was old enough, Bryn was trained meticulously. Sword, bow, and blunt, Brynjolf learned as many weapons and fighting styles that he could in his short time. The Singing Tree finally chose Bryn when he was 13, one of the younger Rangers chosen.

Despite his young age and proficiency as a beastmaster, Erendorn still refused leniency towards his son. For all intents and purposes when Bryn became a Ranger, he became an adult, in no need of coddling. So, Bryn continued to attempt and impress his father. He put more effort into his training and he lost contact with a lot of his fellow rangers.

He fell off the map for a while, and when he came back, he was only 25. For the next five years, he re-established himself in the Siftish community. He tripled his efforts to become an Earthspeaker, like his father. Bryn was convinced that if he became an Earthspeaker, his father would finally come around.

Alas, 30 came around, a starting age for Earthspeakers. There was a rare young Ranger who could impress the speakers. But before he could speak with the Earthspeakers about his possible consideration for the prestigious position, his father stopped him.

“You will never be an Earthspeaker.”

Those words hit him harder than he expected, and so, he ran away. He’d had enough of his father’s unreachable goals, and he left. He traveled from the top of the continent to the bottom, catching a ferry to the Exotic Isles. In his self imposed exile, he stayed on one of the smaller islands. He didn’t talk much, and he didn’t get out much. And he grew up more than he expected. Until the Singing Tree’s song became too loud.

Reason for joining the Wardens:

It was a dream unlike any he’d ever had. The Singing Tree sent him visions of another Rifting, but he ignored them mostly until the dreams got so intense that he physically couldn’t rest without head pounding visions. So, he bucked up and went to Eldris, learning about the visions of a certain High Priestess and joining her Wardens if only to rid himself of his visions.

Desired Connections:

He probably wouldn’t know anyone since he “left” the Rangers when he was 30. So none of the newer Rangers would remember him, but they would remember his father who is one of the Earthspeakers. If anything, he might known some Narfeni people since he’s been on – since his self appointed exile.

1.6.19 Weekly Check In | MYW | 1

My Year Without A Microwave

So, in an effort to not make this super long, I decided to write in-depth weekly reviews over on another blog. All the juicy details of this week including a tweet-sized book review can be found here.

But I’ll update the fun stats here! The goals with measurements that I can track are more fun than the habits I’m trying to stop. I really think having a weekly review will really help me get a clear picture of what’s working and what needs to be adjusted.

I feel that this was a pretty solid week and the only thing I am worried about is using TV as a crutch. I watched a shit ton of TV that I didn’t want to.

STATS

H E A L T H

Days eating healthy: 0/312 Days exercising: 4/260 Weight this year: -1.4 lbs

B U S I N E S S

Blog posts: 0/365 $ made: 0

P E R S O N A L D E V E L O P M E N T

Pay off loan: $0/$13000 # of books read: 1/52 Book read: Atomic Habits by James Clear

Moving along! I am making improvements to make this week even better.

But, today was my do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want-guilt-free day. Although, I did have to wake up at 9 to run around getting the cats ready for the clinic.

I had to pack an emergency bag becaue Teah gets so car sick that he always pees, poops and throws up on every trip. So this time we were prepared.

Emergency pack included napkins, lysol wipes, gloves, a trash bag and an extra blanket. I try to make Teah as comfy as possible, but he just does not like it.

1. He used to love car rides when he was younger. 2. How the fuck is he going to survive moving 12 hours away?

But, we had 2 accidents from him. One as we were pulling into the parking lot and then another on the way home.

So we used our emergency pack before we headed in and ALL was good.

On the way there, everyone was meowing in harmony. It was so beautiful. Basically like:

ME: You guys are going to the vet. Cats: MEOW ME: A stranger is going to hold you. Cats: MEOW MEOW ME: You’re all getting needles in your butts. Cats: MEOW save MEOW us MEOW!!

They were so cute and they were on their best behavior. I’m one proud mom! We were the only cat people there. So my babies survived being surrounded by dogs and puppies. We had a shopping cart stacked with cages. What a sight.

We also held up the line since we had so many to input. Then they all were champions getting their shots. Not one meow. Not one hiss. Just scared pussies with their tails between their legs.

Even Frappe girl was an angel.

This clinic at Petco was a blessing. Our rabies bills last year was $310 for our 4. This year we have a kitten. And kittens need extra vaccines. So, I knew our bill would be $500.

I had the money in savings, but Brandon showed me the clinics. So omg YES. Our bill today was $116 with the kitten package. So now we have leftover money to beef up the emergency account. SCORE!

Then Teah made a mess again on the way home. That’s my baby. I’ve been cleaning up after him for over 10 years now and I will never complain about it. I’m so thankful to still have him in my life.

So around lunch time, Brandon goes to throw rice in the microwave and... buttons were not working. He tried everything and I got so excited.

I hate this fucking microwave. Honestly I hate microwaves in general. They’re convenient but I’m pretty sure they’re giving me cancer. I’ve literally been begging Brandon for years to get rid of it.

But he’s a lazy sack of shit.

So I got off the couch, literally jumping with joy, and I told myself to calm down because it might not be broken. Men are just sometimes incapable of doing anything like pushing buttons on a microwave even after doing it for years. And sometimes just a women’s touch can fix shit magically. (Yes, I am laughing my ass off at these accusations. but it’s true though)

So, I fiddled with it and it was 100%, Katelyn-confirmed broken. AND IM SO HAPPY

Because we can’t get a microwave. This is our no spending money on anything extra year. Microwaves are considered extra. Because you technically don’t need them when you have a stove and oven and airfryer and fake instant pot and rice cooker with warming settings.

I also proved this by heating the rice up on the stove in like 2 minutes.

So, unless Brandon can pull a microwave out of his ass for free, we are without one for a whole year (fingers-crossed on forever).

So today is my do nothing day. I played Phase10 with Brandon, watched Family Guy, made veggies burgers, finally cut up some onions for the week, took an extra long, extra hot shower and now I’m going to do more nothing.

30 Things People Don’t Realize You’re Doing Because Of Your Depression

I laugh, so that I don’t cry. Unfortunately, it’s all too true. 02/28/2017 05:15 pm ET | Updated 2 hours ago

Written by Sarah Schuster

While most people imagine depression equals “really sad,” unless you’ve experienced depression yourself, you might not know it goes so much deeper than that. Depression expresses itself in many different ways, some more obvious than others. While some people have a hard time getting out of bed, others might get to work just fine — it’s different for everyone. To find out how depression shows itself in ways other people can’t see, we asked our mental health community to share one thing people don’t realize they’re doing because they have depression. Here’s what they had to say:

1. “In social situations, some people don’t realize I withdraw or don’t speak much because of depression. Instead, they think I’m being rude or purposefully antisocial.” — Laura B.

2. “I struggle to get out of bed, sometimes for hours. Then just the thought of taking a shower is exhausting. If I manage to do that, I am ready for a nap. People don’t understand, but anxiety and depression is exhausting, much like an actual physical fight with a professional boxer.” — Juli J.

3. “Agreeing to social plans but canceling last minute. Using an excuse but really you just chickened out. It makes you think your friends don’t actually want to see you, they just feel bad. Obligation.” — Brynne L.

4. “Hiding in my phone. Yes, I am addicted to it, but not like other people. I don’t socialize, I play games or browse online stores to distract myself from my negative thoughts. It’s my safe bubble.” — Eveline L.

I feel worthless so much that I feel guilty for even thinking of putting my needs or wants first. Then I just feel like a doormat when I cave into the pressure. It’s a never-ending cycle.” — Amy Y.

30 Things People Don't Realize You're Doing Because Of Your Depression

Written by Sarah Schuster

To find out how depression shows itself in ways other people can’t see, we asked our mental health community to share one thing people don’t realize they’re doing because they have depression.

Here’s what they had to say:

1. “In social situations, some people don’t realize I withdraw or don’t speak much because of depression. Instead, they think I’m being rude or purposefully antisocial.” — Laura B.

5. “Going to bed at 9 p.m. and sleeping throughout the night until 10 or 11 a.m.” — Karissa D.
