Just a normal guy looking for some time to waste, if you have some cool lore things you wanna share, wanna talk about video games like Minecraft, Mario, Kirby, of LOZ, or need some lame humor, I’m your guy. He/him. Remember that you deserve to have a good day, remember to treat others and yourself well.

Hey Pandas, What Are Some Signs That Someone Might Need Help Mentally (Like Depression, Anxiety, And The Like)?
This may not be super common, but I've observed that when someone is depressed or showing behaviors of depression, they either get bored super easily or not at all, with no in-between. No idea if this is backed by science tho

You can't stop yourself from stealing someone's writing yet you lie about it when confronted.Hey Pandas, What Are Some Signs That Someone Might Need Help Mentally (Like Depression, Anxiety, And The Like)?
Drastic change in sleep schedule/sleep deprivation (I’ve slipped into the habit of sleeping from 4 AM to 1 PM). More irritable than usual. Self deprecation (through jokes or sarcasm or full on insulting themselves). Thought in the back of your mind about wanting to die but never considering it, or fully acknowledging the wish for death and starting to consider. Being closed off. Getting defensive when confronted about these issues. At least that’s what I feel like all the time.Hey Pandas, What Are Some Signs That Someone Might Need Help Mentally (Like Depression, Anxiety, And The Like)?
Some things you can ask yourself to see if someone needs help: - Have they been more reserved than usual? - Have they been talking less? - When you ask them questions (like "how was your day?"), do they give short or one-word answers? - Do they seem distant? - Have they been reaching out less? - Are their eyes red or puffy from crying? - Have they been more irritable than normal? - Have they been making a lot of self-deprecating jokes/remarks? If the answer to some or a lot of those is yes, then they are likely not doing very well, and need you or someone else. One other thing you can do, is look into their eyes. Do they seem sad? Can you feel the weight behind them? It's hard to explain through text, but sometimes, you just know from the look in their eyes. I hope this helps, and I'm so glad you care enough to ask! Remember though, take care of yourself too – you can't pour from an empty cup.
