As another depressed and suicidal person, I will tell you that you absolutely do not have to be anyone's counselor and you absolutely can have fun in fandom.

I've said this before but it's so important: SET BOUNDARIES. You don't have to always talk to your depressed friends, they have to know that you aren't their therapy and that they need to seek help outside of the internet.

Instead of being a therapist just be a friend, be a source of fun. Depressed people are not opposed to that, in face sometimes we need the fun more then we need the therapy.

Also keep in mind that a lot of us who are depressed and suicidal don't post online because we want to bother other people, it's often just because we need to vent. I really don't advise people post it publicly on sites like tumblr, but I understand why it happens since the majority of fandom is over there now.

SA In face = in fact

See, I post about my depression and ptsd on tumblr because sometimes a stranger writes me and gives me advice or even just a hug and for that I don't care if the whole world know about my mental illnesses. I'm never going to hide the fact that I suffer from them.

AYRT. I can understand that, I think for some people (me, for instance) the public aspect can be scary though, sometimes strangers can be really nice and helpful, but sometimes they can be harsh and unhelpful.

And being open about mental illness is not always something people can do, it's something maybe we should do- but there are always factors that make us hide these things (jobs, family etc.) That's why most people advise going to people you trust and established professionals rather then just shouting it out at the world and hoping someone will listen.

I think it's less an issue about how many people you tell on the web, so long as it doesn't mean that you tell no one off the web. Which seems to happen a lot.
