I thought something was only a problem if it interfered with your ability to function? Because when I was depressed, it literally interfered with my ability to function. Like, whining about it on the Internet, would have first required the ability to muster up the wherewithal to actually get on the computer in the first place. Which definitely wasn't happening. I watched endless hours of TV because that was the only thing that really let me zone out and get out of my own head. But interaction? With others? On the Internet? A world of NO.

there's different levels, though, and different ways for it to manifest. depression doesn't have to be severe for it to still be a problem, and some people even with severe depression might be able to function in ways that you couldn't while still being affected dramatically in other ways. some people have bad days and better days. it's very different from person to person and your experiences don't define everyone's.

what anon said

there are the big problems where you just want to curl up and die, and there are the little problems that just piss you off, like losing your last hair tie or being stuck in traffic

both types of problems are legitimate

It affects everyone in different ways. When mine was particularly bad after I was laid off, my anti-depressants weren't enough. I could barely get of bed or do a job app without crying or see any of my friends without feeling like they were all judging me for my failures. I could, however, read and write fic as a happy distraction from the mess of my life, and confide in my fandom friends.

At an earlier time in my life, all of my energy had to go into doing my school work in order to scrape by and I almost fell out of fandom all together.

Everyone is different. Everyone experiences depression in different ways.

Hi I've had depression my entire life and it's never interfered with my ability to go online or even talk about it online.

Often that's all I can do, I can't leave my house or do anything worthwhile, but I can get online because it passes the time. I don't see people IRL or chat on the phone, but my brain has always felt like that's different.

Depression can have similar symptoms but it doesn't change the fact that individuals react to it individually. Some people go out and drink, some stay home and play video games. This is partially why mental illness is so hard to detect and manage, because it's different for everyone.
